Characteristics of Hypovirulent Strains of Chestnut Blight Fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, Isolated in Korea
Chestnut blight disease caused by Cryphonectria parasitica is widely distributed throughout chestnut tree plantations in Korea. We surveyed 65 sites located at 9 provinces in South Korea, and isolated 248 virulent and 3 hypovirulent strains of chestnut blight fungus. Hypovirulent strains had dsRNA virus in the cytoplasm, which is one of the typical characteristics of hypovirulent strains. In ad...
متن کاملGenetic control of horizontal virus transmission in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica.
Vegetative incompatibility in fungi has long been known to reduce the transmission of viruses between individuals, but the barrier to transmission is incomplete. In replicated laboratory assays, we showed conclusively that the transmission of viruses between individuals of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica is controlled primarily by vegetative incompatibility (vic) genes. By r...
متن کاملA host factor involved in hypovirus symptom expression in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica.
The prototype hypovirus CHV1-EP713 causes virulence attenuation and severe suppression of asexual sporulation and pigmentation in its host, the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica. We identified a factor associated with symptom induction in C. parasitica using a transformation of C. parasitica strain EP155 with a full-length cDNA clone from a mild mutant virus strain, Cys(72). This...
متن کاملPotential of Local Hypovirulent Strains of Cryphonectria parasitica for Biological Control of Chestnut Blight
Cryphonectria parasitica, introduced in the NE of Portugal since 1989, is now an important and widespread pathogen of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) which causes losses in chestnut fruit production and led to decline and death of many chestnut trees. Hypovirulence, a virus mediated attenuation of fungal pathogenesis, has not been frequent until now in Portugal but recently some cases of heali...
متن کاملFifty-three polymorphic microsatellite loci in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica
We report on 53 microsatellite loci for use in population genetic or linkage mapping studies in Cryphonectria parasitica . In 40 isolates collected from throughout the Northern Hemisphere, the number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 14 (mean 5.17) with gene diversity values ranging from 0.049 to 0.859 (mean 0.437). Samples from Asia were more diverse than those from Europe and North Amer...
