Journal ArticleDOI
Universal primers for the PCR-mediated amplification of DNA beta: a molecule associated with some monopartite begomoviruses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a highly conserved region upstream of a predicted hairpin structure in DNA beta and use primers designed to this region to amplify the full-length DNA beta component from total nucleic acid extracts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of DNA β, a satellite molecule associated with some monopartite begomoviruses
Rob W. Briddon,Simon E. Bull,Imran Amin,Ali M. Idris,Shahid Mansoor,Ian D. Bedford,Poonam Dhawan,Narayan Rishi,Surender S Siwatch,Aly M. Abdel-Salam,Judith K. Brown,Y. Zafar,Peter G. Markham +12 more
TL;DR: Analysis of sequences revealed a highly conserved organization for DNA beta molecules consisting of a single conserved open reading frame, an adenine-rich region, and a region of high sequence conservation [the satellite conserved region (SCR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of geminivirus-derived small RNAs in different plant species.
Rashid Akbergenov,Azeddine Si-Ammour,Todd Blevins,Imran Amin,Claudia Kutter,Hervé Vanderschuren,Peng Zhang,Wilhelm Gruissem,Frederick Meins,Thomas Hohn,Mikhail M. Pooggin +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that several distinct silencing pathways are involved in DNA virus-plant interactions, including HEN1 miRNA methylase-dependent resistance to β-elimination and the dicer-like proteins DCL3 and DCL2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of DNA 1: a satellite-like molecule associated with monopartite begomovirus–DNA β complexes
Rob W. Briddon,Simon E. Bull,Imran Amin,Shahid Mansoor,Ian D. Bedford,Narayan Rishi,Surender S Siwatch,Y. Zafar,Aly M. Abdel-Salam,Peter G. Markham +9 more
TL;DR: The analysis shows that DNA 1 components are associated with the majority of begomovirus-DNA beta complexes, being absent from only two of the complexes examined, both of which have their origins in Far East Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering novel traits in plants through RNA interference
TL;DR: The application of tissue-specific or inducible gene silencing, with the use of appropriate promoters, and the ability to silence several genes simultaneously should enhance the authors' ability to create novel traits in plants.
