Abstract In this work, we report the isolation of a novel positive-sense single strand RNA virus from wheat, tentatively named Triticum aestivum-associated virga-like virus 1 (TaAVLV1). Further characterization revealed that the complete genome of TaAVLV1 was divided into two segments, RNA1 and RNA2, which were 3530 and 3466 nt long, excluding the polyA tail. These segments contained two open reading frames (ORFs). The ORF in RNA1 encoded an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), while the ORF in RNA2 encoded a putative protein carrying MET and HEL domains. Phylogenetic analysis based on the RdRp protein of each representative genus of Virgaviridae placed TaAVLV1 in the unclassified Virgaviridae clade of the Virgaviridae family. To our knowledge, this is the first report of virga-like virus isolated from wheat. Future studies will be conducted to examine its effect on host growth and development.

Abstract Corynespora cassiicola is an important phytopathogenic fungus and it has severely impaired the production of crops. In this study, we report on the molecular characterization of a novel (+) ssRNA mycovirus, Corynespora cassiicola fusarivirus 1 (CcFV1) isolated from C. cassiicola strain 20200826-3-1. Excluding a poly (A) tail, the genome of the virus is 6491 nt containing three putative open reading frames. The large ORF1 encodes a polypeptide of 1524aa with a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain, a helicase (Hel) domain, and a Phage-holin-3-6 (Phage-holin) domain. ORF2 encodes a polypeptide with a conserved Chromosome segregation ATPase (Smc) domain. The smallest ORF3 encodes a putative protein with an unknown function. Phylogenetic analysis based on the ORF1 and ORF2 of CcFV1 encoded polypeptide showed that CcFV1 is phylogenetically related to the newly proposed family Fusariviridae. Thus, we suggest that CcFV1 might be a novel member of the family Fusariviridae and is also the first discovered in C. cassiicola.

Abstract The complete genome of the dsRNA virus isolated from Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA 9–11 (designated as Rhizoctonia solani dsRNA virus 11, RsRV11 ) were determined. The RsRV11 genome was 9,555 bp in length, contained three conserved domains, SMC, PRK and RT-like super family, and encoded two non-overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 potentially coded for a 204.12 kDa predicted protein, which shared low but significant amino acid sequence identities with the putative protein encoded by Rhizoctonia solani RNA virus HN008 (RsRV-HN008) ORF1. ORF2 potentially coded for a 132.41 kDa protein which contained the conserved motifs of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that RsRV11 was clustered with RsRV-HN008 in a separate clade independent of other virus families. It implies that RsRV11, along with RsRV-HN008 possibly a new fungal virus taxa closed to the family Megabirnaviridae, and RsRV11 is a new member of mycoviruses.

Here, we characterized a negative single-stranded (−ss)RNA mycovirus, Botrytis cinerea mymonavirus 1 (BcMyV1), isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The genome of BcMyV1 is 7863 nt in length, possessing three open reading frames (ORF1–3). The ORF1 encodes a large polypeptide containing a conserved mononegaviral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain showing homology to the protein L of mymonaviruses, whereas the possible functions of the remaining two ORFs are still unknown. The internal cDNA sequence (10-7829) of BcMyV1 was 97.9% identical to the full-length cDNA sequence of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum negative stranded RNA virus 7 (SsNSRV7), a virus-like contig obtained from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum metatranscriptomes, indicating BcMyV1 should be a strain of SsNSRV7. Phylogenetic analysis based on RdRp domains showed that BcMyV1 was clustered with the viruses in the family Mymonaviridae, suggesting it is a member of Mymonaviridae. BcMyV1 may be widely distributed in regions where B. cinerea occurs in China and even over the world, although it infected only 0.8% of tested B. cinerea strains.

Abstract One victorivirus was detected in the isolate of Corynespora cassiicola strains 20180909-03, which was named Corynespora cassiicola victorivirus 1 (CcVV1). The whole-genome sequence of the virus was sequenced and identified. The CcVV1 genome is 5140 nt and contains 56.87%GC with two large open reading frames (ORFs) overlapping at the tetranucleotide AUGA. The two ORFs were predicted to encode coat protein (CP) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) respectively, which were conservative in dsRNA fungal viruses of the family Totiviridae. Conservative domains comparison and phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of RdRp and CP showed that CcVV1 was a new virus of the Victorivirus genus. As far as we know, it is the first report of a genomic sequence of the genus Victorivirus infecting Corynespora cassiicola.

The bisegmented genome of a double-stranded (ds) RNA virus from the fungus Rhizoctonia solani isolate Rhs 717 was characterized. The larger segment, dsRNA 1, is 2363 bases long whereas the smaller segment, dsRNA 2, has 2206 bases. The 5′ ends of the coding strands of dsRNA 1 and dsRNA 2 are highly conserved (100% identity over 47 bases), and contain inverted repeats capable of forming stable stem–loop structures. Analysis of the coding potential of each of the two segments showed that dsRNAs 1 and 2 could code for polypeptides of 730 aa (bases 86–2275; molecular mass 86 kDa) and 683 aa (bases 79–2130; molecular mass 76 kDa), respectively. The 86 kDa polypeptide has all the motifs of dsRNA RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RDRP), and has significant homology with putative RDRPs of partitiviruses from Fusarium poae and Atkinsonella hypoxylon. The 76 kDa protein shows homology with the putative capsid proteins (CP) of the same viruses. Northern blot analysis revealed no subgenomic RNA species, consistent with the fact that the long open reading frames encoding the putative RDRP and CP cover the entire length of the respective dsRNAs.

Five isolates of a new member of the family Closteroviridae, tentatively named blackcurrant leafroll-associated virus 1 (BcLRaV-1), were identified in the currant. The 17-kb-long genome codes for 10 putative proteins. The replication-associated polyprotein has several functional domains, including papain-like proteases, methyltransferase, Zemlya, helicase, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Additional open reading frames code for a small protein predicted to integrate into the host cell wall, a heat-shock protein 70 homolog, a heat-shock protein 90 homolog, two coat proteins, and three proteins of unknown functions. Phylogenetic analysis showed that BcLRaV-1 is related to members of the genus Closterovirus, whereas recombination analysis provided evidence of intraspecies recombination.

Abstract Here we reported the molecular characterization of two novel mycoviruses co-infected in a plant pathogenic fungus, Nigrospora sphaerica that were designated as Nigrospora sphaerica fusarivirus 1 (NsFV1) and Nigrospora sphaerica partitivirus 1 (NsPV1), respectively. NsFV1 has an undivided genome of 6,147 bp, excluding the polyA tail, and was predicted to contain two nonoverlapping open reading frames (ORF1 and 2). The larger ORF1 encoded a polyprotein containing a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a helicase domain that have functions for RNA replication, and the smaller ORF2 encoded a putative protein with an unknown function. The NsPV1 was consists of two genome segments, which were in lengths of 1,796 bp and 1,455 bp, respectively. Each of the two dsRNAs had a single ORF and were deduced to encode proteins with homology to viral RdRp and coat protein (CP), respectively, in the family Partitiviridae. Phylogenetic analysis showed that NsFV1 was placed within the newly proposed family Fusariviridae, while NsPV1 was belonging to the genus Gammapartitivirus in the family Partitiviridae. This was the first description of mycovirses infected the fungus N. sphaerica.

Five isolates of a new putative member of the genus Closterovirus, tentatively named blackcurrant leafroll associated virus 1 (BcLRaV-1), were identified in currant. The 17 kb long genome of BcLRaV-1 contained 10 open reading frames (ORFs). The replication associated polyprotein has two papain-like leader proteases, a methyltransferase, a helicase and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domain. Additional ORFs coded for heat shock protein 70 homolog, heat shock protein 90 homolog, two divergent copies of coat protein, and three accessory proteins without identifiable functions. Phylogenetic analysis showed that BcLRaV-1 is related to members of the genus Closterovirus and recombination analysis of the isolates showed clear evidences of intraspecies recombination.
