In this study, we report the discovery and molecular characterization of a novel mycovirus, Nigrospora oryzae fusarivirus 1 (NoFV1) isolated from the rice-infecting fungus Nigrospora oryzae. Excluding a poly (A) tail, the genome of the virus is 7004 nucleotide (nt) long containing three putative nonoverlapping open reading frames (ORF1, ORF2, and ORF3). The large ORF1 encodes a polypeptide with a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain and a helicase domain that functions for RNA replication. Each of the smaller ORF2 and the smallest ORF3 encodes a putative protein with an unknown function. Amino acid (aa) sequence similarities between the NoFV1-ORF1- and ORF2-encoded proteins and the homologous sequences from other mycoviruses were found. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of the RdRp and helicase domains showed that NoFV1 is phylogenetically related to viruses in the newly proposed family Fusariviridae. Thus, we suggest that NoFV1 might be a novel member of family Fusariviridae.

is a multifunctional composite tree species that has important ornamental, economic, medicinal, and scientific research value. In October 2023, the foliage of on the campus of Nanjing Forestry University exhibited leaf blight. Black-brown necrotic spots were observed on a large number of leaves, with a disease incidence of 86%.

Article Synopsis
- A new virus called "Nigrospora oryzae mycovirus 1" (NoMyV1) was isolated from the fungus Nigrospora oryzae, featuring a non-segmented dsRNA genome of 2891 base pairs.
- The virus contains two open reading frames: one encoding a protein similar to capsid proteins of unclassified viruses, and another for RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).
- Phylogenetic analysis shows NoMyV1 clusters with other unclassified viruses, leading to the proposal of a new genus called "Unirnavirus," distinct from the family Partitiviridae.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the AMF species Rhizophagus intraradices affects bacterial communities and metabolic functions in the rhizosphere of aluminum-sensitive soybeans grown in acidic soil, particularly when inoculated with other fungi.
- Results showed that while the AMF and other fungal inoculations did not significantly change soil nutrient levels or specific plant traits, they did alter the composition and function of local bacterial communities.
- Notably, co-inoculation led to an increase in beneficial bacteria associated with stress responses and improved plant resistance, as well as heightened antifungal activity within the soil environment.
Molecular characterization of a novel mycotombus‑like virus isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus Nigrospora oryzae.

In this study, we identified a new mycotombus-like mycovirus from the phytopathogenic fungus Nigrospora oryzae, which was tentatively designated as "Nigrospora oryzae umbra-like virus 1" (NoULV1). The complete genome of NoULV1 is 3,381 nt long, containing two open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2). ORF1 encodes a hypothetical protein with an unknown function, while ORF2 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with a conserved RdRp domain containing a metal-binding 'GDN' triplet in motif C, which is distinct from the 'GDD' motif found in most + ssRNA mycoviruses.

Nigrospora oryzae, a newly identified pathogen, is responsible for poplar leaf blight, causing significant harm to poplar growth. Here, we describe, for the first time, a biological control method for the control of poplar leaf blight via the applications of 3 dominant Trichoderma strains/species. In this study, dominant Trichoderma species/strains with the potential for biocontrol were identified and then further characterised via dual culture assays, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and culture filtrates.
