Tomato yellow leaf curl (TYLC) is one of the most devastating viral diseases of cultivated
tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, and losses …

Geminiviruses have small, single-stranded DNA genomes that replicate through double-
stranded intermediates in the nuclei of infected plant cells. Viral double-stranded DNA also …

Although exchange of genetic information by recombination plays a role in the evolution of
viruses, the extent to which it generates diversity is not clear. We analyzed genomes of …

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

Tomato yellow leaf curl geminivirus (TYLCV), transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci
(Gennadius) is one of the most devastating diseases of cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon …

The name tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) has been given to several whitefly-
transmitted geminiviruses affecting tomato cultures in many tropical and subtropical regions …

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 …

This work provides evidence of the significant contribution of recombination to the genetic
diversification of emerging begomovirus populations. In southern Spain, Tomato yellow leaf …

The genomic DNA molecule of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), a whitefly-transmitted
geminivirus, was amplified from total DNA extracts of TYLCV-infected tomato (Lycopersicon …

Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) is one of the most devastating viral diseases
