Abstract
A DNA mycovirus, SsHADV-1, converts its host, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, from a cosmopolitan necrotrophic pathogen to a beneficial endophytic fungus. When grown on rapeseed, SsHADV-1-infected S. sclerotiorum can promote plant growth and enhance disease resistance. Our discoveries suggest that fungal pathogens infected with hypovirulence-associated mycoviruses can be used as plant vaccines to improve crop health and enhance yield.
