Gene C2 of the Monopartite Geminivirus Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-China Encodes a Pathogenicity Determinant That Is Localized in the Nucleus

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
Expression of the Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-China (TYLCV-C) C2 protein and green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the C2 protein (C2-GFP) in Nicotiana benthamiana from a Potato virus X (PVX) vector induced necrotic ringspots on inoculated leaves as

Geminivirus–Host Interactions: Action and Reaction in Receptor-Mediated Antiviral Immunity

open access: yesViruses, 2021
In plant−virus interactions, the plant immune system and virulence strategies are under constant pressure for dominance, and the balance of these opposing selection pressures can result in disease or resistance.

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Plants and Implications for Biotechnology

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), a fundamental process long acknowledged in prokaryotic evolution, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal force in shaping the evolutionary trajectories of eukaryotes, including plants. Despite its established significance in prokaryotic adaptation, the role of HGT in eukaryotic evolution is still understudied ...

Genomic Variation and Diversification in Begomovirus Genome in Implication to Host and Vector Adaptation

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae, genus Begomovirus) are DNA viruses transmitted in a circulative, persistent manner by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius). As revealed by their wide host range (more than 420 plant species), worldwide distribution,

Geminivirus Rep Protein Interferes with the Plant DNA Methylation Machinery and Modifies the Host Epigenome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The apparent simplicity of viruses hides the complexity of their interactions with their hosts. Viruses are masters at circumventing host defenses and manipulating the cellular environment for their own benefit.

Impact of Virus‐Mediated Modifications in Bacterial Communities on the Accumulation of Soil Organic Carbon

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 30, August 14, 2025.
This study illustrates the impact of viruses on carbon cycling in soils with different availabilities of carbon. In conditions of low carbon availability, viruses adopt a lysogenic lifestyle, integrate into the host genomes and facilitate the degradation of carbon.

The viral etiology of tomato yellow leaf curl disease - a review

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2009
Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) is one of the most devastating plant diseases in the world. As a result of its continuing rapid spread, it now afflicts more than 30 tomato growing countries in the Mediterranean basin, southern Asia, Africa, and ...

Extension of the viral ecology in humans using viral profile hidden Markov models. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
When human samples are sequenced, many assembled contigs are "unknown", as conventional alignments find no similarity to known sequences. Hidden Markov models (HMM) exploit the positions of specific nucleotides in protein-encoding codons in various ...

The viral content ratio between abdomen and head is informative of the relative efficiency with which Bemisia tabaci populations transmit begomoviruses. [P.12] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) are transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in a circulative non propagative manner. B. tabaci is a species complex composed of at least 24 morphocryptic species which differ in host range, insecticide resistance ...

Begomovirus disease complex: emerging threat to vegetable production systems of West and Central Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Vegetables play a major role in the livelihoods of the rural poor in Africa. Among major constraints to vegetable production worldwide are diseases caused by a group of viruses belonging to the genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae. Begomoviruses are
