RESUMO
In this study, we identified a novel mycovirus, Fusarium graminearum ormycovirus 1 (FgOV1), from the pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum. The virus has two RNA segments, RNA1 and RNA2, with lengths of 2,591 and 1,801 nucleotides, respectively, excluding the polyA tail. Each segment contains a single open reading frame (ORF). The ORF in RNA1 encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, while the ORF in RNA2 encodes a hypothetical protein. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FgOV1 belongs to the gammaormycovirus clade, whose members are related to betaormycoviruses. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an ormycovirus in Fusarium graminearum.

E3 ubiquitin ligases play a pivotal role in ubiquitination, a crucial post-translational modification process. Anaphase-promoting complex (APC), a large cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase, regulates the unidirectional progression of the cell cycle by ubiquitinating specific target proteins and triggering plant immune responses. Several E3 ubiquitin ligases have been identified owing to advancements in sequencing and annotation of the wheat genome. However, the types and functions of APC E3 ubiquitin ligases in wheat have not been reported. This study identified 14 members of the APC gene family in the wheat genome and divided them into three subgroups (CCS52B, CCS52A, and CDC20) to better understand their functions. Promoter sequence analysis revealed the presence of several cis-acting elements related to hormone and stress responses in the APC E3 ubiquitin ligases in wheat. All identified APC E3 ubiquitin ligase family members were highly expressed in the leaves, and the expression of most genes was induced by the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA). In addition, the APC gene family in wheat may play a role in plant defense mechanisms. This study comprehensively analyzes APC genes in wheat, laying the groundwork for future research on the function of APC genes in response to viral infections and expanding our understanding of wheat immunity mechanisms.
