    Abstract:
    Previously, we characterized F. graminearum hypovirus 1 (FgHV1) and F. graminearum hypovirus 2 (FgHV2), which are the only two hypoviruses in F. graminearum that are closely related to Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) and Cryphonectria hypovirus 2 (CHV2) in the Hypoviridae family. In this study, we preliminarily elucidated the RNA silencing mechanism of the F. graminearum/hypovirus system from a small RNA (sRNA) perspective by using HiSeq deep sequencing. The length distributions of F. graminearum sRNA were altered by hypoviral infection. Potential microRNA-like (milRNA) candidates were differentially expressed between the hypovirus-free and hypovirus-infected library types. Extensive virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) were also principally defined. The 1,831,081 and 3,254,758 total reads generated from the FgHV1 and FgHV2 genomes in F. graminearum yielded the first high-resolution sRNA maps of fungal viruses. In addition, extensive bioinformatics searches identified a large number of transcripts that are potentially targeted by vsiRNAs, several of which were effectively down-regulated. In particular, the RNA silencing-related genes FgDicer1 and FgRdRp5 were predicted targets of FgHV1- and FgHV2-derived siRNAs, possibly revealing a novel anti-RNA silencing strategy employed by mycoviruses.
