Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Effect of Oyster Mushroom Spherical Virus Infection in .

Oyster mushroom spherical virus (OMSV) is a mycovirus that inhibits mycelial growth, induces malformation symptoms, and decreases the yield of fruiting bodies in . However, the pathogenic mechanism of OMSV infection in is poorly understood. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was conducted, identifying 354 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the mycelium of during OMSV infection.

Transmission of Oyster Mushroom Spherical Virus to Progeny via Basidiospores and Horizontally to a New Host .

Mycoviruses are usually transmitted horizontally via hyphal anastomosis and vertically through sporulation in natural settings. Oyster mushroom spherical virus (OMSV) is a mycovirus that infects , with horizontal transmission via hyphal anastomosis. However, whether OMSV can be vertically transmitted is unclear.
