抄録

<p>Viruses are genetic elements that parasitize self-replicating cells.Therefore, organisms parasitized by viruses are not limited to animals andplants but also include microorganisms. Among these, viruses that parasitizefungi are known as mycoviruses. Mycoviruses with an RNA genome persistentlyreplicate inside fungal cells and coevolve with their host cells, similar to acellular organelle. Within host cells, mycoviruses can modulate various fungalcharacteristics and activities, including pathogenicity and the production ofenzymes and secondary metabolites. In this review, we provide an overview ofthe mycovirus research field as introduction to fungal researchers.Recognition of all genetic elements in fungi aids towards better understandingand control of fungi, and makes fungi a significant model system for studyingmicroorganisms containing multiple genetic elements.</p>
