The Association between New World Alphasatellites and Bipartite Begomoviruses: Effects on Infection and Vector Transmission [PDF]
Begomoviruses can be found in association with alphasatellites, which are capable of autonomous replication but are dependent on the helper begomovirus for systemic infection, encapsidation and vector transmission.

Temporal changes in the levels of virus and betasatellite DNA in B. tabaci feeding on CLCuD affected cotton during the growing season [PDF]
Cotton, a key source of income for Pakistan, has suffered significantly by cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) since 1990. This disease is caused by a complex of phylogenetically-related begomovirus (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) species and a ...

A novel geminivirus-derived 3' flanking sequence of terminator mediates the gene expression enhancement. [PDF]
Summary Exploring the new elements to re‐design the expression cassette is crucial in synthetic biology. Viruses are one of the most important sources for exploring gene expression elements. In this study, we found that the DNA sequence of the SBG51 deltasatellite from the Sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV) greatly enhanced the gene expression when ...

ALCScV C5 protein is a virulence factor and enhances the pathogenicity of PVX in Nicotiana benthamiana. Mutational analyses showed that C5 is important for disease symptom formation and affects ALCScV replication in infected plants. Abstract Earlier reports have indicated that begomoviruses encode four proteins (AC1/C1, AC2/C2, AC3/C3, and AC4/C4 ...
