Mycoviruses are common among different species of endophytic fungi of grasses

Mycoviruses are common among different species of endophytic fungi of grasses A survey of mycoviruses was made in a collection of 103 isolates belonging to 53 different species of endophytic fungi of grasses. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) elements were detected in isolates of 12 of the species analyzed. The banding characteristics and sizes of some of the dsRNA elements suggest that they might belong to previously described mycovirus families. The observed incidence (22.6%) indicates that the presence of mycoviruses could be common among species of this group of ubiquitous fungi. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Virology Springer Journals

Abstract

A survey of mycoviruses was made in a collection of 103 isolates belonging to 53 different species of endophytic fungi of grasses. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) elements were detected in isolates of 12 of the species analyzed. The banding characteristics and sizes of some of the dsRNA elements suggest that they might belong to previously described mycovirus families. The observed incidence (22.6%) indicates that the presence of mycoviruses could be common among species of this group of ubiquitous fungi.
