Abstract

AbstractTwo fungal isolates of the genus Ophiostoma (O. minus and O. quercus) contain double‐stranded RNA elements which, when partially cloned and sequenced, represent fragments of RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase genes which are most closely related to those found in viruses in the families Totiviridae and Partitiviridae, respectively. This is the first description of a totivirus in the genus Ophiostoma. The partitivirus in O. quercus is distantly related to a partitivirus recently identified in O. himal‐ulmi.
