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 …

Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

The large genetic and structural divergences between plants and fungi may hinder the
transmission of viruses between these two kingdoms to some extent. However, recent …

Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi, and hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses have
the potential to control fungal diseases. However, it is unclear how mycovirus-mediated …

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 …

The discovery of the first non-cellular infectious agent, later determined to be tobacco
mosaic virus, paved the way for the field of virology. In the ensuing decades, research …

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

The transmission of viral infections between plant and fungal hosts has been suspected to
occur, based on phylogenetic and other findings, but has not been directly observed in …

The plant‐associated microbial community (microbiome) has an important role in plant–
plant communications. Plants decipher their complex habitat situations by sensing the …

Soils support a myriad of organisms hosting highly diverse viromes. In this minireview, we
focus on viruses hosted by true fungi and oomycetes (members of Stamenopila …
