A double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) segment was isolated from the filamentous phytopathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae and its full-length cDNA sequence (3038 nucleotides) was determined. Sequence analysis revealed that a large open reading frame (ORF) is present on the positive strand of this dsRNA segment when the mitochondrial genetic code was applied. The ORF encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which shares the closest similarity with Rhizoctonia mitovirus 1 and Rhizophagus sp. RF1 mitovirus, with 43% and 29% identity, respectively. This dsRNA segment represents the replication form of a novel mitovirus that was temporarily designated Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae mitovirus 1 (RoMV1). Phylogenetic analysis further suggested that RoMV1 belongs to the family Narnaviridae. This is the first study to report a mitovirus genome sequence in the phytopathogenic fungus R. oryzae-sativae.

Bacterial receptors feed into multiple signal transduction pathways that regulate a variety of cellular processes including gene expression, second messenger levels, and motility. Receptors are typically activated by signal binding to ligand-binding domains (LBDs). Cache domains are omnipresent LBDs found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, including humans.

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) and de-repression (CCDR) are critical for fungal development and pathogenicity, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood in pathogenic fungi. Here, we identify a serine/threonine protein phosphatase catalytic subunit, Pp4c, as essential for growth, conidiation, virulence, and the utilization of carbohydrates and lipids in Magnaporthe oryzae. We demonstrate that the protein phosphatase 4 complex (Pp4c and Smek1 subunits), the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) Snf1, and the transcriptional regulators CreA (repressor) and Crf1 (activator) collaboratively regulate the utilization of non-preferred carbon sources.

Efficient degradation of lignocellulosic biomass is key for the production of value-added products, contributing to sustainable and renewable solutions. This study employs a two-step approach to evaluate lignocellulolytic enzymes of Ceratocystis paradoxa, Colletotrichum falcatum, and Sporisorium scitamineum. First, an in silico genomic analysis was conducted to predict the potential enzyme groups produced by these fungi.

In Chile and worldwide, walnut () production faces significant losses due to crown and root rot caused by the phytopathogen . Currently, control methods have proven insufficient or unfavorable for the environment, increasing the need for sustainable alternatives. This research evaluates nanoemulsions based on extracts of medicinal plants endemic to Chile to control in walnut crops.
