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.

Generation of Marker-free Transgenic Plants Concurrently Resistant to a DNA Geminivirus and a RNA Tospovirus

TL;DR: A two-T DNA vector carrying a hairpin of the intergenic region of Ageratum yellow vein virus residing in an intron inserted in an untranslatable nucleocapsid protein (NP) fragment of Melon yellow spot virus indicates that MYSV resistance is mediated through post-transcriptional gene silencing.
