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 …

For bipartite begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) trans-replication of the DNA B
component by the DNA A-encoded replication-associated protein (Rep) is achieved by …

Members of the genus Curtovirus (family Geminiviridae) are important pathogens of many
wild and cultivated plant species. Until recently, relatively few full curtovirus genomes have …

Beet curly top Iran virus (BCTIV) was previously reported as a distinct curtovirus in Iran.
Complete nucleotide sequences of three BCTIV isolates, one each from central, southern …

Abstract Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) have long been known to transmit a number
of plant pathogens, although the elucidation of the vector-host plant-pathogen relationships …

Leaves and seeds of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) are edible and have been used for
culinary and medicinal purposes. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect …

Background Beet severe curly top virus (BSCTV) is a leafhopper transmitted geminivirus
with a monopartite genome. C4 proteins encoded by geminivirus play an important role in …

Curly top disease is caused by a complex of curtoviruses (family Geminiviridae), and it
continues to plague tomato production in California. To better understand the etiology of …

Curly top in sugar beet continues to be a challenging disease to control in the western
United States. To aid in development of host resistance and management options, the …

Beet curly top Iran virus (BCTIV) is a divergent geminivirus with biological properties similar
to those of curtoviruses; however, the virus is distinct from curtoviruses phylogenetically and …
