Detection of double-stranded RNA elements in the plant pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani.
Many species of fungi have been shown to harbor double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) elements. A single fungal isolate of Rhizoctonia solani may have as many as five different dsRNA elements within them. The presence of specific dsRNA elements influence pathogenicity in host plants.
