Abstract excerpt
Hypovirulent strain EP713 of the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria (Endothia) parasitica harbors a family of viral encoded double-stranded (ds) RNAs thought to be responsible for the hypovirulence phenotype. These include L-dsRNA, described in the accompanying paper (Shapira et al., 1991); several prominent species in the estimated size range of 8 to 10 kb, referred to here as M-dsRNAs; and several smaller...
