Abstract:Rhizoctonia solani is a soil-borne pathogenic fungus with several distinct isolates that have been classified based on their anastomosis groups (AG's). Many isolates of these fungi contain double-stranded viral RNA (dsRNA) that are cytoplasmic and viral in origin. Research in our laboratory has studied the epidemiology and molecular biology of viral RNA in R. solani, making it a useful biological model in the development of protocols for the rapid identification of biological agents. In the present study the d… Show more
