Temporal changes in the levels of virus and betasatellite DNA in B. tabaci feeding on CLCuD affected cotton during the growing season [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCotton, 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 ...

Transreplication Preference of the Tomato Leaf Curl Joydebpur Virus for a Noncognate Betasatellite through Iteron Resemblance on Nicotiana bethamiana [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) with severe leaf curl symptoms were collected in 2013 from Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The detection results showed a co-infection between the tomato leaf curl Joydebpur virus (ToLCJoV) and tomato leaf curl Bangladesh ...

qPCR Assay as a Tool for Examining Cotton Resistance to the Virus Complex Causing CLCuD: Yield Loss Inversely Correlates with Betasatellite, Not Virus, DNA Titer [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is a significant constraint to the economies of Pakistan and India. The disease is caused by different begomoviruses (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) in association with a disease-specific betasatellite. However,

Role of complementary-sense genes and intergenic region of beet curly top virus in intermolecular recombination frequency upon local infection in plants [PDF]
Journal of VirologyIntermolecular recombination is a critical process in the evolution of plant viruses, including geminiviruses. In this study, we investigated the impact of geminiviral factors on the homologous recombination frequency (HRF) in a model system involving ...

Characterisation of a Betasatellite Associated With Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Guangdong Virus and Discovery of an Unusual Modulation of Virus Infection Associated With C4 Protein. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholThe C4 protein, encoded by tomato yellow leaf curl Guangdong virus (TYLCGdV), does not inhibit PTGS or TGS; the C4 protein modulates TYLCGdV infection by regulating the cytosine methylation level of viral genome at different infection stages. ABSTRACT Tomato yellow leaf curl Guangdong virus (TYLCGdV), a monopartite begomovirus first identified in 2004,

A novel geminivirus-derived 3' flanking sequence of terminator mediates the gene expression enhancement. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummary 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 ...
