Background Viruses of the genus Begomovirus (Geminiviridae) are emerging economically
important plant viruses with a circular, single-stranded DNA genome. Previous studies have …

Geminivirus taxonomy and nomenclature is growing in complexity with the number of
genomic sequences deposited in sequence databases. Taxonomic and nomenclatural …

The genomes and ORFs of 36 geminiviruses were compared to obtain phylogenetic trees
and frequency distributions of all possible pairwise comparisons with an objective to classify …

This paper provides an overview of current research on geminiviruses (members of the
family Geminiviridae), including the study of the complex interaction among viral proteins …

Geminiviruses form the second largest family of plant viruses, the Geminiviridae,
represented by four genera: Mastrevirus, Curtovirus, Topocuvirus and Begomovirus. During …

During the last few years there has been some confusion among geminivirologists about
how to determine the taxonomic status of a geminivirus and provide appropriate names for …

Geminiviruses are devastating viruses of plants that possess single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)
DNA genomes. Despite the importance of this class of phytopathogen, there have been no …

A high-throughput method of isolating and cloning geminivirus genomes from dried plant
material, by combining an Extract-n-Amp™-based DNA isolation technique with rolling circle …

Geminiviruses are small DNA viruses with single-stranded circular genomes that encode for
few known proteins. Recently, Gong et al. reconsidered their protein identification criteria …

Geminiviruses have circular single-stranded DNA genomes and are important pathogens in
tropical and subtropical regions, but their population diversity and variability are poorly …
