Molecular insight into cotton leaf curl geminivirus disease resistance in cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 691-706, March 2020., 2020
Summary Cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important fibre crop in the world. Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is the major limiting factor and a threat to textile industry in India and Pakistan. All the local cotton cultivars exhibit moderate to no resistance against CLCuD. In this study, we evaluated an exotic cotton accession Mac7 as

Alpha-satellite RNA transcripts are repressed by centromere–nucleolus associations

eLife, 2020
Although originally thought to be silent chromosomal regions, centromeres are instead actively transcribed. However, the behavior and contributions of centromere-derived RNAs have remained unclear.

Ty‐1, a universal resistance gene against geminiviruses that is compromised by co‐replication of a betasatellite

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 160-172, February 2020., 2020
Summary Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), a begomovirus, causes large yield losses and breeding for resistance is an effective way to combat this viral disease. The resistance gene Ty‐1 codes for an RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase and has recently been shown to enhance transcriptional gene silencing of TYLCV.

Xp;Yq Unbalanced Translocation with Pseudoautosomal Region Aberrations in a Natural Two‐Generation Transmission

BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Translocations involving X and Y chromosomes rarely occur in humans and may affect reproductive function. We investigated an Xp:Yq unbalanced translocation with pseudoautosomal region (PAR) aberrations in a natural two‐generation transmission. We report the case of an azoospermic male and his fertile mother without any other abnormal clinical ...

Suppressors of RNA Silencing Encoded by the Components of the Cotton Leaf Curl Begomovirus-BetaSatellite Complex

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2011
Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) are single-stranded DNA viruses transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Many economically important diseases in crops are caused by begomoviruses, particularly in tropical and subtropical environments.

Harnessed viruses in the age of metagenomics and synthetic biology: an update on infectious clone assembly and biotechnologies of plant viruses

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1010-1026, June 2019., 2019
Summary Recent metagenomic studies have provided an unprecedented wealth of data, which are revolutionizing our understanding of virus diversity. A redrawn landscape highlights viruses as active players in the phytobiome, and surveys have uncovered their positive roles in environmental stress tolerance of plants.
