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

Management of geminiviruses is a worldwide challenge because of the widespread
distribution of economically important diseases caused by these viruses. Regardless of the …

The geminiviruses are a family of small, non-enveloped viruses with single-stranded,
circular DNA genomes of 2500–5200 bases. Geminiviruses are transmitted by various types …

Geminiviruses are plant-infecting, circular single-stranded DNA viruses that have a
geminate virion morphology. These viruses infect both cultivated and non-cultivated …

Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, threatens global food security. The rice
blast pathosystem is a longstanding model system for understanding plant-microbe …

Nanoviruses and geminiviruses are circular, single stranded DNA viruses that infect many
plant species around the world. Nanoviruses and certain geminiviruses that belong to the …

Plant viruses are thought to be essentially harmful to the lives of their cultivated crop hosts.
In most cases studied, the interaction between viruses and cultivated crop plants negatively …

Cytosine DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic silencing mechanism that defends
against biotic stresses such as geminivirus infection. As a countermeasure, geminiviruses …

Most plant viruses are vectored by insects and the interactions of virus-plant-vector have
important ecological and evolutionary implications. Insect vectors often perform better on …

Numerous metagenomic studies have uncovered a remarkable diversity of circular
replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses, the …
