Extending Chestnut Blight Hypovirus Host Range Within Diaporthales by Biolistic Delivery of Viral cDNA
Biolistic bombardment was used to successfully transform three phytopathogenic fungal species with an infectious cDNA clone of the prototypic hypovirus, CHV1-EP713, a genetic element responsible for the virulence attenuation (hypovirulence) of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica. Th...
