Geminiviruses and Plant Hosts: A Closer Examination of the Molecular Arms Race

Viruses, 2017
Geminiviruses are plant-infecting viruses characterized by a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome. Geminivirus-derived proteins are multifunctional and effective regulators in modulating the host cellular processes resulting in successful infection.

Regulated nuclear trafficking of rpL10A mediated by NIK1 represents a defense strategy of plant cells against virus. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2008
The NSP-interacting kinase (NIK) receptor-mediated defense pathway has been identified recently as a virulence target of the geminivirus nuclear shuttle protein (NSP).

Silencing of a Germin-Like Protein Gene (CchGLP) in Geminivirus-Resistant Pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) BG-3821 Increases Susceptibility to Single and Mixed Infections by Geminiviruses PHYVV and PepGMV

Viruses, 2015
Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are encoded by a family of genes found in all plants, and in terms of function, the GLPs are implicated in the response of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses.

A Bipartite Geminivirus Infecting Tomatoes in Cuba [PDF]

Plant Disease, 1997
Whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses have increased in their distribution and importance during the last decade, apparently due to a wider distribution of their vector Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius). In Cuba, symptoms of geminivirus disease have been observed since the early 1990s.

ty-5 Confers Broad-Spectrum Resistance to Geminiviruses

Viruses, 2022
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

Engineering Conditional Transgene Expression in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Nicotiana benthamiana has emerged as a premier plant biofactory for recombinant protein and metabolite production due to its high metabolic versatility, ease of cultivation and permissiveness to transient expression vectors. However, challenges such as transgene silencing, low yields and metabolic toxicity limit its scalability. Synthetic gene

Influence of retinoblastoma-related gene silencing on the initiation of DNA replication by African cassava mosaic virus Rep in cells of mature leaves in Nicotiana benthamiana plants [PDF]

, 2011
Background Geminiviruses mainly infect terminally differentiated tissues and cells in plants. They need to reprogramme host cellular machinery for DNA replication.

Functional Domains of a Geminivirus Replication Protein [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Tomato golden mosaic virus, a member of the geminivirus family, has a single-stranded DNA genome that is replicated and transcribed in infected plant cells through the concerted action of viral and host factors. One viral protein, AL1, contributes to both processes by binding to a directly repeated, double-stranded DNA sequence located in the ...

gb4gv: A genome browser for geminivirus

PeerJ, 2017
Background: Geminivirus (family Geminiviridae ) is a prevalent plant virus that imperils agriculture globally, causing serious damage to the livelihood of farmers, particularly in developing countries. The virus evolves rapidly, attributing to its single-stranded genome propensity,

Engineering geminivirus resistance in Jatropha curcus [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2014
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
