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 …

Geminiviruses are DNA viruses which infect plants. They have a small genome and encode
only a few proteins. Therefore, their DNA replication cycle relies largely on the use of cellular …

Although single stranded (ss) DNA viruses that infect humans and their domesticated
animals do not generally cause major diseases, the arthropod borne ssDNA viruses of …

Geminiviruses encode a replication initiator protein, Rep, which binds in a sequence-
specific fashion to iterated DNA motifs (iterons) functioning as essential elements for virus …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the molecular biology of mastreviruses, drawing
analogies where necessary from research on curtoviruses and begomoviruses. The …

Geminiviruses are plant-infecting viruses characterized by a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)
genome. Geminivirus-derived proteins are multifunctional and effective regulators in …

Replication of the single-stranded DNA genome of plant geminiviruses follows a rollin circle
mechanism. It strictly depends on a 'replication initiator protein'(Rep) which is the sole viral …

It is well-established that plants use cytoplasmic, post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS)
as a defense against RNA viruses and DNA virus transcripts. More recently, it has become …

This review summarizes the molecular studies pertaining to porcine circovirus (PCV)
transcription and DNA replication. The genome of PCV is circular, single-stranded DNA and …

Rolling circle replication is a mechanism for copying single-stranded genomes by means of
double-stranded intermediates. A multifunctional replication inititiator protein (Rep) is …
