The pathological importance of mixed viral infections in plants might be underestimated
except for a few well-characterized synergistic combinations in certain crops. Considering …

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

Mixed infections of plant viruses are common in nature, and a number of important virus
diseases of plants are the outcomes of interactions between causative agents. Multiple …

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 …

Posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants is a natural defense mechanism against
virus infection. In mixed infections, virus synergism is proposed to result from suppression of …

Metagenomic surveys and data from next generation sequencing revealed that mixed
infections among plant viruses are probably a rule rather than an exception in natural …

ABSTRACT RNA silencing in plants is a natural defense system mechanism against
invading nucleic acids such as viruses. Geminiviruses, a family of plant viruses …

Mixed viral infections occur more commonly than would be expected by chance in nature.
Virus-virus interactions may affect viral traits and leave a genetic signature in the population …

Globally, viral diseases cause huge economic losses in crops and their management is a
big challenge to growers as well as researchers. Mixed infection is the existence of more …

Designing artificial microRNAs (amiRs) targeting the genes responsible for viral replication,
transmission and symptom development after viral infection offers a promising strategy to …
