Identifying Novel Mycoviruses in Rhizoctonia solani

The name of a novel putative mycovirus identified in this study for the first time is named according to a previous reference [56 (link)], which consists of three parts: (I) the first part of the name is the source of the virus; (II) the second part of the name shows the virus taxonomical group; and (III) the third part of the name is a progressive number [57 (link)]. For example, “Rhizoctonia solani [part I] partitivirus [part II] 12 [part III]” presents a new partitivirus and the twelfth partitivirus found in R. solani. A mycovirus previously reported, which was also identified in this study, was labeled with “BNR” or “MNR” to indicate its sources in this study. For example, “Rhizoctonia solani partitivirus 6-BNR” presents a strain of Rhizoctonia solani partitivirus 6 reported previously [58 (link)] and is identified from a strain of BNR in this study.
