Diversity, recombination and misclassification in the family Geminiviridae: Insight from bioinformatics analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe family Geminiviridae comprises 15 genera and over 500 species of diverse plant-infecting viruses. Previous studies on this virus's diversity primarily focused on the members' selection without considering the entire genomic divergence.

Replication mechanisms of circular ssDNA plant viruses and their potential implication in viral gene expression regulation [PDF]
mBio, 2023 The replication of members of the two circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) virus families Geminiviridae and Nanoviridae, the only ssDNA viruses infecting plants, is believed to be processed by rolling-circle replication (RCR) and recombination-dependent ...

Maize Streak Virus: Single and Gemini Capsid Architecture [PDF]
VirusesGeminiviridae are ssDNA plant viruses whose control has both economical and agricultural importance. Their capsids assemble into two distinct architectural forms: (i) a T = 1 icosahedral and (ii) a unique twinned quasi-isometric capsid.
