ABSTRACT
Three dsRNA segments were detected in Fusarium pseudograminearum strain CF14029, a pathogen causing Fusarium crown rot in China. Characterization and sequence analysis confirmed that these dsRNA sequences originated from the same virus. The viral genome consists of three dsRNA segments dsRNA1 (3,560 nt in length), encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), dsRNA2 (2,544 nt in length), encoding a hypothetical protein, and dsRNA3 (2,478 nt in length), encoding a putative coat protein (CP). Phylogenetic analysis based on the RdRp and CP amino acid sequences revealed a high degree of similarity of this virus to members of the genus Alternavirus, family Alternaviridae, isolated from other Fusarium fungi. As a novel member of the genus Alternavirus, this virus was provisionally named "Fusarium pseudograminearum alternavirus 1" (FpgAV1). Like other alternaviruses found in Fusarium species, the positive-sense strand of each genomic dsRNA of FpgAV1 possesses a poly(A) tail and a distinctive 5'-terminal octamer sequence (5'-GCT GTG TG-3'). This is the first report of the genomic sequence of an alternavirus identified in F. pseudograminearum.
