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.

Rock paper scissors: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated interference with geminiviruses in plants.

TL;DR: Studies on the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat and its associated systems (CRISPR/Cas) and its applications in defense against viruses in a number of model plants have been intensively carried out, shedding light on the potential use of CRISpr/Casmediated anti-geminivirus strategy in the future.

Infectivity of okra enation leaf curl virus and the role of its V2 protein in pathogenicity.

TL;DR: The results showed that in the inoculated plants OELCuV alone can cause downward curling and yellowing of leaves with thickened veins, however, when co-inoculated with the non-cognate CLCuMuB it could functionally trans-replicate CLCUMuB resulting in a more severe phenotype.

Phosphorylated viral protein evades plant immunity through interfering the function of RNA-binding protein

TL;DR: It is found that S162 and S165 of Chinese wheat mosaic virus (CWMV) cysteine-rich protein (CRP) are phosphorylated by SAPK7 and play key roles in CWMV infection.

Recombinant Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus is associated with yellow vein mosaic disease of okra in India

TL;DR: Phylogenetic and recombination analysis indicated that both DNA A and DNA B components of ToLCNDV infecting okra has the recombinant origin from BYVMV, To LCNDV, and SLCCNV as the foremost parents.

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.

Exploiting chinks in the plant's armor: evolution and emergence of geminiviruses

TL;DR: The geminiviruses represent a family of DNA viruses that has circumvented these impediments to emerge as one of the most successful viral pathogens, causing severe economic losses to agricultural production worldwide.

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.
