This review focuses on the biology of geminiviruses, and discusses the uses of geminiviral
vectors in plant molecular genetic research and their potential for other applications under …

Geminiviruses are being used as convenient autonomously replicating vectors for foreign
gene amplification in plants. Using tissue culture techniques, they have been adapted for the …

Diseases caused by geminiviruses have long been recognized as a limitation to the
cultivation of several important crops, including maize, cassava, bean, squash, cucurbits …

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

Geminiviruses are plant-infecting viruses characterized by a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)
genome. Geminivirus-derived proteins are multifunctional and effective regulators in …

The plant pathogenic single‐strand DNA‐containing geminiviruses have been the recent
focus of intense investigation, owing both to their agronomic importance and to their …

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 …

Viruses are intracellular pathogens that have evolved efficient strategies for replication and
expression of their proteins in the host cells. Geminiviruses–plant viruses with small circular …

A persistent issue in the agricultural sector worldwide is the intensive damage caused to
crops by the geminivirus family of viruses. The diverse types of viruses, rapid virus evolution …

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 …
