Geminiviral protein Rep interferes in PCNA sumoylation [PDF]
Rep is a multifunctional protein essential for replication of geminivirus that interferes with the sumoylation of a key protein in the DNA replication, PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen).

ToLCNDV is typically transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, but the efficiency of transmission varies among different cryptic species. The retention and circulation of viruses in insect vectors are crucial determinants of successful transmission to new plants.

Genome editing using sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs) is rapidly being developed for genetic engineering in crop species. The utilization of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly

Geminivirus-Encoded Proteins: Not All Positional Homologs Are Made Equal
Geminiviruses are insect-transmitted plant viruses with circular, single-stranded (ss)DNA genomes that cause devastating diseases in major crops worldwide.

The BV1 gene of the bipartite Begomovirus genome encodes a nuclear shuttle protein (NSP) that is also an avirulence determinant in common bean. The function of the NSP of two common bean-infecting bipartite begomoviruses, Bean dwarf mosaic virus (BDMV ...

ABSTRACT Cassava is a crucial staple crop in Africa, but its productivity is increasingly threatened by the worsening impacts of drought caused by climate change. To address this challenge, an integration of “omics” and genome editing technologies has emerged as indispensable tools for understanding the complex mechanisms that govern cassava's response

Factors influencing Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus-mediated gene silencing in wheat [PDF]
Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that has been used primarily to target the virus genome in infected plants. However, if the virus genome carries inserts derived from the host plant, the system could be employed to target the mRNAs ...

A Novel Divergent Geminivirus Identified in Asymptomatic New World Cactaceae Plants
Cactaceae comprise a diverse and iconic group of flowering plants which are almost exclusively indigenous to the New World. The wide variety of growth forms found amongst the cacti have led to the trafficking of many species throughout the world as ...

Viruses mobilize plant immunity to deter nonvector insect herbivores. [PDF]
A parasite-infected host may promote performance of associated insect vectors; but possible parasite effects on nonvector insects have been largely unexplored. Here, we show that Begomovirus, the largest genus of plant viruses and transmitted exclusively
