The family Geminiviridae includes plant-infecting viruses whose genomes are composed of
one or two circular non-enveloped ssDNAs (+) of about 2.5–5.2 kb each in size. These …

Weeds are invasive species that grow along with cultivated plants due to their high
phenotypic plasticity. They serve as reservoirs of geminiviruses during off-season for main …

Geminiviruses are insect-transmitted plant viruses with circular, single-stranded (ss) DNA
genomes that cause devastating diseases in major crops worldwide. The family …

The family Geminiviridae is one of the largest and most important families of plant viruses.
The small, single-stranded DNA genomes of geminiviruses encode 5–7 proteins that …

A continuing challenge to crop production worldwide is the spectrum of diseases caused by
geminiviruses, a large family of small circular single-stranded DNA viruses. These viruses …

In plant viruses, genomic variation caused by mutation is enhanced by recombination,
pseudo-recombination and acquisition of extra genomic components. Genomic RNA …

Geminiviruses, named for their unique geminate capsid morphology, have small single-
stranded (ss) circular DNA genomes that replicate in the nuclei of infected cells via a double …

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

The majority of plant-infecting viruses utilize an RNA genome, suggesting that plants have
imposed strict constraints on the evolution of DNA viruses. The geminiviruses represent a …

Symptom-modulating DNA satellites associated with geminiviruses have come to our
attention only recently but have proven to be widespread, associated with many diseases …
