Abstract excerpt
The phenomenon of transmissible hypovirulence (virulence attenuation) associated with biological control of natural populations of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica can be experimentally reproduced by infection with hypovirus cDNA clones (viral hypovirulence) or by mutation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the absence of virus infection (mitochondrial hypovirulence). We now report the use of an...
