摘要： Colletotrichum fructicola is a globally significant phytopathogenic fungus. Mycovirus-induced hypovirulence has great potential for biological control and study of fungal pathogenic mechanisms. We previously reported that the mycovirus Colletotrichum alienum partitivirus 1 (CaPV1) is associated with the hypovirulence of C. fructicola, and the present study aimed to further investigate a host factor and its roles in mycovirus-induced hypovirulence. A gene named CfKOB1, which encodes putative protein homologous to the beta-subunit of voltagegated potassium channels and aldo-keto reductase, is downregulated upon CaPV1 infection and significantly upregulated during the early infection phase of Nicotiana benthamiana by C. fructicola. Deleting the CfKOB1 gene resulted in diminished vegetative growth, decreased production of asexual spores, hindered appressorium formation, reduced virulence, and altered tolerance to abiotic stresses. Transcriptome analysis revealed that CfKOB1 regulates many metabolic pathways as well as the cell cycle and apoptosis. Furthermore, enhanced apoptosis was observed in the Delta CfKOB1 mutants. Viral RNA accumulation was significantly increased in the CfKOB1 deletion mutant. Additionally, our findings demonstrated that CaPV1 infection in the WT strain also induced cell apoptosis. Collectively, these results highlight the diverse biological roles of the CfKOB1 gene in the fungus C. fructicola, while it also participates in mycovirus-induced hypovirulence by regulating apoptosis.
