Abstract: Lentinula edodes mycovirus HKB(LeV)is a fungal virus with the potential symptoms and exists widely in Lentinula edodes strains. In order to detect LeV from abundant strains rapidly and accurately, a pair of primers were designed according to the sequence of LeV (AB.429556.2)and amplified by RT-PCR method. In a total of 25 strains, 20 strains were positive for LeV and 5 strains were negative. The result of dsRNA extraction also showed dsRNA were obtained in the positive strains and the negative strains were not. In conclusion, the study proved that RT-PCR is a rapid and sensitive method for detection of LeV in Lentinula edodes strains and can attribute to the control of strains quality.
