Betasatellites associated with geminiviruses can be replicated promiscuously by distinct
geminiviruses but exhibit a preference for cognate helper viruses. However, the cis elements …

Rolling-circle replication of single-stranded genomes of plant geminiviruses is initiated by
sequence-specific DNA binding of the viral replication-related protein (Rep) to its cognate …

Begomoviruses are a group of plant viruses with small circular single-stranded DNA as
genome. These are whitefly transmitted, geographically widespread, and responsible for the …

Monopartite begomoviruses and their associated satellites form unique disease complexes
that have emerged as a serious threat to agriculture worldwide. It is well known that frequent …

Pseudorecombination studies in Nicotiana benthamiana demonstrate that Ageratum yellow
vein virus (AYVV) and Eupatorium yellow vein virus (EpYVV) can functionally interact with …

Background Alphasatellites are small coding DNA satellites frequently associated with a
begomovirus/betasatellite complex, where they are known to modulate virulence and …

Alphasatellites and betasatellites are begomovirus-associated single-stranded circular DNA
molecules. Two distinct alphasatellites, Gossypium darwinii symptomless alphasatellite and …

Betasatellites (DNA β) are circular ssDNA molecules that are associated with monopartite
geminiviruses and exert a positive effect on the viral infection. Betasatellites encode one …

Alphasatellites, which encode only a replication-associated protein (alpha-Rep), are
frequently found to be non-essential satellite components associated with begomovirus …

Geminiviruses constitute one of the largest groups of plant viruses, having characteristic
twinned geminate particles encapsidating small circular single-stranded DNA molecules …
