Mycoviruses in Biological Control: From Basic Research to Field Implementation
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
Full frame distilled prediction
Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Abstract
Mycoviruses from plant pathogens can induce hypovirulence (reduced virulence) in their host fungi and have gained considerable attention as potential biocontrol tools. An increasing number of mycoviruses that induce fungal hypovirulence, from a wide variety of taxonomic groups, are currently being reported. Successful application of these viruses in disease management is greatly dependent on their ability to spread in the natural populations of the pathogen. Mycoviruses generally lack extracellular routes of transmission. Hyphal anastomosis is the main route of horizontal mycovirus transmission to other isolates, and conidia of vertical transmission to the progeny. Transmission efficiencies are influenced by both the fungal host and the infecting virus. Interestingly, artificial transfection methods have shown that potential biocontrol mycoviruses often have the ability to infect a variety of fungi. This expands their possible use to the control of pathogens others than those where they were identified. Mycovirus research is also focused on gaining insights into their complex molecular biology and the molecular bases of fungus-virus interactions. This knowledge could be exploited to manipulate the mycovirus and/or the host and generate combinations with enhanced properties in biological control. Finally, when exploring the use of mycoviruses in field conditions, the pathogen life style and the characteristics of the disease and crops affected will deeply impact the specific challenges to overcome, and the development of biocontrol formulations and delivery methods.
