Abstract

Wheat leaf rust is caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Puccinia triticina f. sp. tritici, which seriously affects wheat production. In this study, a novel mitovirus was identified in Puccinia triticina strain HN-1 and designated as "Puccinia triticina mitovirus 1" (PtMV1). The genome of PtMV1 consists of a single RNA molecule with a length of 2,380 nt and an A + U content of 54.7% that contains a single open reading frame (ORF). The ORF is predicted to encode a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 653 amino acids with a molecular mass of 74.77 kDa, containing six conserved motifs. The RdRp amino acid sequence of PtMV1 has a high degree of sequence similarity to the RdRps of unuamitoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PtMV1 is a new member of the genus Unuamitovirus within the family Mitoviridae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a fungal virus in Puccinia triticina.

期刊介绍： Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
