Plant Defense and Viral Counter-Defense during Plant–Geminivirus Interactions
Viruses, 2023 Geminiviruses are the largest family of plant viruses that cause severe diseases and devastating yield losses of economically important crops worldwide. In response to geminivirus infection, plants have evolved ingenious defense mechanisms to diminish or

Plant responses to geminivirus infection: guardians of the plant immunity
Virology Journal, 2021 Background Geminiviruses are circular, single-stranded viruses responsible for enormous crop loss worldwide. Rapid expansion of geminivirus diversity outweighs the continuous effort to control its spread.

Efficient production of functional cholera toxin B subunit using geminiviral replicons in Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyThe cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) has the potential to be a carrier molecule and an effective adjuvant for mucosal vaccines because of its ability to enhance immune responses to antigens. CTB proteins have been expressed in plant-based expression systems.

REPercussions: how geminiviruses recruit host factors for replication
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Circular single-stranded DNA viruses of the family Geminiviridae encode replication-associated protein (Rep), which is a multifunctional protein involved in virus DNA replication, transcription of virus genes, and suppression of host defense responses ...
