title: Molecular identification of a novel victorivirus from the phytopathogenic fungus Nigrospora oryzae.
abstract: Nigrospora oryzae is a worldwide phytopathogenic fungus that can infect many plant host species. In this study, complete sequence of a novel mycovirus from N. oryzae was reported. The viral genome is 5100 base pairs in length and possesses two overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). The two ORFs potentially encode proteins that showed significant similarity to the capsid protein and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, in the family Totiviridae, respectively. Phylogenetic tree showed that this novel mycovirus is a new member of the genus Victorivirus in the family Totiviridae. We here designated the virus as Nigrospora oryzae victorivirus 1 (NoRV1), the first putative victorivirus identified in N. oryzae.
