Geminivirus genes and vectors

Trends in Genetics, 1989
The geminiviruses are very small plant viruses with circular single-stranded DNA genomes. Recent advances have identified genes involved in replication, spread of virus or DNA in the plant, and insect transmission. Gene replacement experiments suggest that useful plant gene expression vectors can be constructed from these viruses.

Geminivirus structure and assembly

2020
The geminivirus capsid architecture is unique and built from twinned pseudo T=1 icosahedrons with 110 copies of the coat protein (CP). The CP is multifunctional. It performs various functions during the infection of a wide range of agriculturally important plant hosts.

Structure and replication of geminivirus genomes

Journal of Cell Science, 1987
ABSTRACT The geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses containing single-stranded (ss) DNA in particles comprising two quasi-icosahedral units. Some are transmitted by whiteflies, others by leafhoppers. Comparisons were made of the genome organization and expression of cassava latent virus (CLV) and maize streak virus (MSV) and beet ...

Geminivirus DNA replication

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 1999
Geminiviruses are DNA viruses which infect plants. They have a small genome and encode only a few proteins. Therefore, their DNA replication cycle relies largely on the use of cellular DNA replication proteins. The strategy used by geminiviruses to replicate their single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome consists of a first stage of conversion of ssDNA into ...

Characterization of DNA intermediates of an arising geminivirus

Virus Research, 2007
Weeds of the genus Sida collected in Brazil have harbored several geminiviruses persistently over decades of vegetative propagation. They serve as cradles for new geminiviruses originating from pseudorecombination (reassortment) or molecular recombination, as has been exemplified by Sida micrantha mosaic-associated viruses (SimMV).

Geminivirus disease complexes: an emerging threat

Trends in Plant Science, 2003
Small circular single-stranded DNA satellites have recently been isolated from plants infected with whitefly-transmitted monopartite begomoviruses. The satellites, named DNA beta, depend on the helper viruses for their proliferation and, in turn, are required for helper virus accumulation and symptom expression.

Geminivirus: Indian Scenario

2016
Geminiviruses are a diverse group of plant virus which infects several crop species in India. Based on host range, insect vector, and genome organization, geminiviruses are classified into four genera: Begomovirus, Curtovirus, Topocuvirus, and Mastrevirus.

Role of methylation during geminivirus infection

2020
Epigenetic marks are reversible molecular changes associated to DNA or histones, and are important regulators of gene expression and genome plasticity. In plants, the covalent binding of a methyl group to cytosine or to the lysine 9 residue of H3 histone is promoting transcriptional silencing.

Geminivirus Resistance Strategies

2019
Geminiviruses are a major threat to world agriculture, and breeding resistant crops against these viruses is one of the major challenges faced by both plant pathologists and biotechnologists. In the past, most of these strategies follow the conceptual development ranging from coat protein-mediated restricted viral propagation to the expression of ...
