Epigenetic modifications in DNA bases and histone proteins play important roles in the
regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Chemical modification of DNA base …

Crop productivity is directly dependent on the growth and development of plants and their
adaptation during different environmental stresses. Histone acetylation is an epigenetic …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most studied plant viral pathogens
because it is the most damaging virus for global tomato production. In order to combat this …

RNA silencing is a fundamental, evolutionarily conserved mechanism that regulates gene
expression in eukaryotes. It also functions as a primary immune defense in microbes, such …

DNA methylation is a dynamic epigenetic mechanism that plays a significant role in gene
expression and also maintains chromatin stability. The process is conserved in both plants …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that plays important roles in gene regulation
and transposon silencing. Active DNA demethylation has evolved to counterbalance DNA …

Geminiviruses are plant viruses with limited coding capacity. Geminivirus-encoded proteins
are traditionally identified by applying a 10-kDa arbitrary threshold; however, it is …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is known to encode 6 canonical viral proteins. Our
recent study revealed that TYLCV also encodes some additional small proteins with …

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a monopartite geminivirus, and one of the most
devastating plant viruses in the world. TYLCV is traditionally known to encode six viral …

Background Geminiviruses are circular, single-stranded viruses responsible for enormous
crop loss worldwide. Rapid expansion of geminivirus diversity outweighs the continuous …
