TLDR
This Review describes the current knowledge of how geminiviruses interact with their plant hosts and the functional consequences of these interactions.
Abstract
The family Geminiviridae is one of the largest and most important families of plant viruses. The small, single-stranded DNA genomes of geminiviruses encode 5-7 proteins that redirect host machineries and processes to establish a productive infection. These interactions reprogramme plant cell cycle and transcriptional controls, inhibit cell death pathways, interfere with cell signalling and protein turnover, and suppress defence pathways. This Review describes our current knowledge of how geminiviruses interact with their plant hosts and the functional consequences of these interactions.

Loss of H3.1K27me1 in Arabidopsis confers resistance to Geminivirus by sequestering DNA repair proteins onto rDNA and defense-related genes

TL;DR: Geminiviruses adapt to healthy plants by hijacking its DNA repairing pathways for replication, but the host could retain DNA repairing proteins via sacrificing its genome stability to suppress viral infection.

Molecular Characterization of a Recombinant Isolate of Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus Associated with Severe Outbreaks in Zucchini Squash in Southern Italy

TL;DR: In this paper , a tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) isolate, denoted to LCNDV-Le, is reported, which contains AV2 and AV1 open reading frames (ORFs) in the virion-sense orientation and five additional ORFs named AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4 and AC5 in the complementary sense orientation.

SOIL & CROP SCIENCES | REVIEW ARTICLE Success of transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.): Fiction or reality?

TL;DR: In this article, a review brings into light the success of cotton genetic engineering over the last two decades and probable future prospects, and it is probable that Bt cotton along with newly developed strat- egies, improved irrigation systems and superior chemical application may enhance the production quality and quantity.

Top 10 plant viruses in molecular plant pathology

TL;DR: A short review on each virus of the Top 10 list and its importance is presented, with the intent of initiating discussion and debate amongst the plant virology community, as well as laying down a benchmark, as it will be interesting to see in future years how perceptions change and which viruses enter and leave the Top10.

Emerging Virus Diseases Transmitted by Whiteflies

TL;DR: Factors driving the emergence and establishment of whitefly-transmitted diseases include genetic changes in the virus through mutation and recombination, changes inThe vector populations coupled with polyphagy of the main vector, Bemisia tabaci, and long distance traffic of plant material or vector insects due to trade of vegetables and ornamental plants.

Global analysis of Arabidopsis gene expression uncovers a complex array of changes impacting pathogen response and cell cycle during geminivirus infection

TL;DR: Geminiviruses modulate plant cell cycle status by differentially impacting the CYCD/retinoblastoma-related protein/E2F regulatory network and facilitating progression into the endocycle.
