摘要： DNA cytosine methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism for transposon silencing and gene regulation in fungi, particularly during sexual reproduction. However, its occurrence in vegetative hyphae and role in defense against mycoviruses is unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that genomic-wide cytosine methylation of the tripartite genomovirus FgGMTV1 occurs in the hyphae of Fusarium graminearum, a destructive pathogen of wheat and barley worldwide. Elevated methylation levels were predominantly observed in the promoter regions of FgGMTV1, with the highest level reaching 55.87% in the DNA-C fragment MeC5. Methylation of the Rep promoter in DNA-A was showed to be mediated by DNA methyltransferase DIM2 and lead to its transcriptional activity suppression, resulting in a significant reduction in virus accumulation. Furthermore, we uncovered that small RNAs (sRNAs) derived from FgGMTV1 direct the methylation of viral DNA and integrated foreign promoters, which requires the core components of the RNAi machinery, including the Ago and Dicer genes. Deletion of dcl1/2 or ago1/2 in FgGMTV1-infected strains resulted in an increase in virus accumulation and defects in hyphal growth, stress response, and plant infection. Taken together, our findings reveal that RNAi-mediated DNA methylation occurs in vegetative hyphae and plays a crucial role in antiviral defense mechanisms in fungi.
