Mutualistic plant-associated fungi are recognized as important drivers in plant evolution,
diversity, and health. The discovery that mycoviruses can take part and play important roles …

High-throughput virome analyses with various fungi, from cultured or uncultured sources,
have led to the discovery of diverse viruses with unique genome structures and even neo …

Mycoviruses are widespread and purportedly common throughout the fungal kingdom,
although most are known from hosts in the two most recently diverged phyla, Ascomycota …

Mycoviruses can have a marked effect on natural fungal communities and influence plant
health and productivity. However, a comprehensive picture of mycoviral diversity is still …

Species of Armillaria are distributed globally and include some of the most important
pathogens of forest and ornamental trees. Some of them form large long-living clones that …

Recently, an increasing number of ourmia-like viruses have been found in fungi; however,
the features of these viruses remain unknown. Here, we report a novel ourmia-like virus …

The distribution and diversity of RNA viruses in fungi is incompletely understood due to the
often cryptic nature of mycoviral infections and the focused study of primarily pathogenic …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have greatly expanded the RNA virome in
general and have led to an exponential increase in new fungal viruses, also known as …

Earth's life may have originated as self-replicating RNA, and it has been argued that RNA
viruses and viroid-like elements are remnants of such pre-cellular RNA world. RNA viruses …

Abstract Knowledge of mycovirus diversity, evolution, horizontal gene transfer and shared
ancestry with viruses infecting distantly related hosts, such as plants and arthropods, has …
