TL;DR: To understand the ongoing changes in C LCuD complex in Pakistan, CLCuD affected plants from cotton fields at Vehari were collected and a new strain of betasatellite was identified here and named CLCUMuBVeh.
Book ChapterDOI
Cotton leaf curl disease.
TL;DR: Presently, conventional host plant resistance is the most effective control strategy, but there are few sources of resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicated that replication of pathogenicity determinant betasatellite is significantly attenuated in Mac7 and probably responsible for resistance phenotype, which has important implications in understanding CLCuD resistance mechanism and developing a durable resistance in cultivated cotton.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA interference-based resistance in transgenic tomato plants against Tomato yellow leaf curl virus -Oman (TYLCV-OM) and its associated betasatellite
TL;DR: These results show that RNAi can be used to develop resistance against geminiviruses in tomato, and the resistance in this case is not immunity but does reduce the severity of infections and virus titer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting Plant ssDNA Viruses with Engineered Miniature CRISPR-Cas14a
TL;DR: CRISPR-Cas14a is a highly compact protein with great potential to be used as a guided genome editing tool for single-stranded DNA cleavage and is an ideal tool for engineering resistance against economically important plant ssDNA viruses.
