| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mitoviruses are a unique group of mitochondrially replicating viruses with positive-sense, single stranded RNA genomes. Among them is Cryphonectria mitovirus 1 (CpMV1) which infects one of the three most destructive tree pathogens, chestnut blight fungus. This pathosystem involves two host/parasite interactions (chestnut vs. chestnut blight fungus) and chestnut blight fungus vs. CpMV1). This study represents the first example in which the host range, lateral transmissibility, symptom expression and counter-defense mechanism of a mitovirus was thoroughly analyzed.
