Here, we report a novel ourmia-like mycovirus, named "Phomopsis asparagi magoulivirus 1" (PaMV1), derived from the phytopathogenic fungus Phomopsis asparagi. The genome of PaMV1 consists of a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ ssRNA) that is 2,639 nucleotides in length, with a GC content of 57.13%. It contains a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) consisting of 686 amino acids with a molecular mass of 78.57 kDa. Phylogenetic analysis based on RdRp sequences revealed that PaMV1 grouped together with Diaporthe gulyae magoulivirus 1 (DgMV1) in a distinct clade. Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis suggest that PaMV1 is a novel member of the genus Magoulivirus, family Botourmiaviridae.

These enzymes are unique to fungi and catalyze the first committed steps in the biosynthesis of complex terpenoid natural products: the prenyltransferase assembles 5-carbon precursors to form C geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), and the cyclase converts GGPP into a polycyclic hydrocarbon product. Weak domain-domain interactions as well as linker flexibility render these enzymes refractory to crystallization and challenge their visualization by cryo-EM.

Cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a globally important oilseed crop that is grown primarily in the Northern Great Plains region of the United States. In September 2018, sunflower stems exhibiting brown stem lesions centered on the leaf axils and accompanied by pith degradation, consistent with symptoms of Phomopsis stem canker (PSC) disease, were sampled from a commercial field of approximately 520 hectares in Polk County, MN (47°50'24" N, 96.

Article Synopsis
- There's a growing need for safe and effective preservatives for fruits and vegetables to keep them fresh longer.
- Researchers created a new preservative using nicotinated starch enhanced with cinnamic acids, which showed strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.
- The new starch-based preservative extended cherry tomatoes' shelf life by three days while being non-toxic to cells, showing great potential for use in food preservation.
