METHOD FOR INTRODUCING FUNGUS-INFECTING VIRUS INTO FUNGUS BY THE USE OF NEMATODE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a method for introducing a fungus-infecting virus into a fungus which is easily applicable to "any" kind or strain of filamentous fungi (versatility is great) without restricting to a specific kind or strain of fungus.

SOLUTION: The method for introducing a fungus-infecting virus into a fungus includes using a nematode which has a characteristic to bore the hypha of a filamentous fungus and to suck the sap and intake the cell content by a stylet. For details on the method for introducing a fungus-infecting virus into a fungus, the nematode simultaneously coexists with a filamentous fungus not infected with the fungus-infecting target virus to be introduced (the virus recipient strain) and with another filamentous fungus infected with the fungus-infecting target virus to be introduced (the virus donor strain), and the fungus-infecting virus is introduced through the stylet of the nematode to the virus recipient strain.
