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 …

Begomoviruses (Family Geminiviridae, Genus Begomovirus) have become the most
destructive group of plant viruses in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The recent …

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

The ongoing global spread of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV; Genus Begomovirus,
Family Geminiviridae) represents a serious looming threat to tomato production in all …

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 …

Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) caused by tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)
and a group of related begomoviruses is an important disease which in recent years has …

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
affecting tomato crops in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of the world. Here, we …

We examined the native plant host Solanum nigrum as reservoir of genetic diversity of
begomoviruses that cause the tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) emerging in …
