While single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was once thought to be a relatively rare genomic
architecture for viruses, modern metagenomics sequencing has revealed circular ssDNA …

Geminiviruses are a family of plant viruses that cause economically important plant diseases
worldwide. These viruses have circular single‐stranded DNA genomes and four to eight …

Plant pathogenic geminiviruses have been proliferating worldwide and have, therefore,
attracted considerable scientific interest during the past three decades. Current knowledge …

Several genes involved in the regulation of postembryonic organ initiation and growth have
been identified. However, it remains largely unclear how developmental cues connect to the …

Viruses are intracellular parasites that have evolved to effectively manipulate the cells they
infect. As a result of the viral infection, multiple cellular processes are altered, suppressed, or …

Background The preparation of expressional cDNA libraries for use in the yeast two-hybrid
system is quick and efficient when using the dedicated Clontech™ product, the …

Significance and transmission of maize streak virus disease in Africa and options for
management: A review Page 1 African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 7 (25), pp. 4897-4910 …

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

Geminivirus infectivity is thought to depend on interactions between the virus replication-
associated proteins Rep or RepA and host retinoblastoma-related proteins (pRBR), which …

Background To successfully invade new hosts, plant viruses must break host resistance and
be competent to move within and between plant cells. As a means, viral proteins known as …
