ty-5 Confers Broad-Spectrum Resistance to Geminiviruses
The selection of resistant crops is an effective method for controlling geminivirus diseases. ty-5 encodes a messenger RNA surveillance factor Pelota with a single amino acid mutation (PelotaV16G), which confers effective resistance to tomato yellow leaf

Conformation-Selective Methylation of Geminivirus DNA [PDF]
ABSTRACT Geminiviruses with small circular single-stranded DNA genomes replicate in plant cell nuclei by using various double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) intermediates: distinct open circular and covalently closed circular as well as heterogeneous linear DNA.

Engineering geminivirus resistance in Jatropha curcus [PDF]
Jatropha curcus is a good candidate plant for biodiesel production in tropical and subtropical regions. However, J. curcus is susceptible to the geminivirus Indian cassava mosaic virus (ICMV), and frequent viral disease outbreaks severely limit productivity. Therefore the development of J. curcus to carry on durable virus resistance remains crucial and

Geminivirus Resistance in Transgenic Tobacco Expressing Mutated BC1 Protein
Tobacco explants were transformed by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation with sense and antisense constructs of the movement protein genes (BC1 and BV1) of tomato mottle geminivirus (TMoV).

Mapping of Abutilon Mosaic Geminivirus Minichromosomes [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe single-stranded circular DNA ofAbutilon mosaic geminivirionsis complemented to double-stranded DNA by host proteins after infecting cells. This double-stranded DNA serves as a template for replication as well as transcription and is assembled into host nucleosomes, yielding circular viral minichromosomes.

Geminivirus protein structure and function [PDF]
Summary Geminiviruses are a family of plant viruses that cause economically important plant diseases worldwide. These viruses have circular single‐stranded DNA genomes and four to eight genes that are expressed from both strands of the double‐stranded DNA
