From the plant pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens, four double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segments designated Uv-dsRNA1, -2, -3, and -4 were isolated, cloned, and sequenced. Uv-dsRNA1 (1775 bp) and -2 (1588 bp) potentially encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a viral coat protein (CP), respectively. Since the RdRp and CP sequences encoded by Uv-dsRNA1 and -2, respectively, are most closely related to, but clearly distinct from, those of viruses of the genus Partitivirus, they appear to be the two genome segments of a new partitivirus, for which the name Ustilaginoidea virens partitivirus 1 is proposed. In contrast, Uv-dsRNA3 (1352 bp) did not share significant sequence similarity with GenBank sequences, and the ORF of Uv-dsRNA4 (1119 bp) was only 32 % identical to a functionally unknown protein (GaRVMS2s3gp1) encoded by Gremmeniella abietina RNA virus MS2.

Rice false smut (RFS) is pervasive and has emerged as the primary disease affecting rice productivity. Due to the lack of effective chemical control, disease-resistant varieties are the primary method of managing the disease. This study aimed to investigate the influence of biological characteristics such as hyphal growth rate, spore production and germination ability on the pathogenicity of .

Rice sheath blight (RSB), caused by the pathogenic fungus , poses a significant threat to global food security. The defense mechanisms employed by rice against RSB are not well understood. In our study, we analyzed the interactions between rice and by comparing the phenotypic changes, ROS content, and metabolite variations in both tolerant and susceptible rice varieties during the early stages of fungal infection.

Protein -palmitoylation, a universal posttranslational modification catalyzed by a specific group of palmitoyltransferases, plays crucial roles in diverse biological processes across organisms by modulating protein functions. However, its roles in the virulence of plant pathogenic fungi remain underexplored. In a recent study, Y.
