Abstract

Double-stranded RNA viruses are ubiquitous in fungi. They are non-infective and, like most prokaryotic plasmids, are only transmitted to compatible strains via cell fusion. Most are cryptic, but some with an established phenotype, such as the hypoviruses of the chestnut-blight fungus, have been studied for their potential as biological control agents of fungi.

摘要

双链RNA病毒在真菌中普遍存在。它们无感染性，并且像大多数原核质粒一样，仅通过细胞融合传递给兼容菌株。大多数是隐性的，但一些具有既定表型的病毒，如栗疫病菌的低毒病毒，已因其作为真菌生物防治剂的潜力而得到研究。
