Genetic resistance to plant viruses has been used for at least 80 years to control agricultural
losses to viral diseases. To date, hundreds of naturally occurring genes for resistance to …

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 …

Geminiviruses are a family of plant viruses that cause economically important plant diseases
worldwide. These viruses have circular single‐stranded DNA genomes and four to eight …

Plant viruses are biotrophic pathogens that need living tissue for their multiplication and
thus, in the infection–defence equilibrium, they do not normally cause plant death. In some …

Lysine acetylation has been shown to occur in many protein targets, including core histones,
about 40 transcription factors and over 30 other proteins. This modification is reversible in …

Plant viruses are excellent tools for studying microbial–plant interactions as well as the
complexities of host activities. Our study focuses on the role of C2 encoded by Beet severe …

Plant pathogenic geminiviruses have been proliferating worldwide and have, therefore,
attracted considerable scientific interest during the past three decades. Current knowledge …

Virus infections are the cause of numerous plant disease syndromes that are generally
characterized by the induction of disease symptoms such as developmental abnormalities …

The family Geminiviridae includes plant-infecting viruses whose genomes are composed of
one or two circular non-enveloped ssDNAs (+) of about 2.5–5.2 kb each in size. These …

Propagation of viral infection in host plants comprises two distinct and sequential stages:
viral transport from the initially infected cell into adjacent neighboring cells, a process termed …
