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.

Synergy between an emerging monopartite begomovirus and a DNA-B component

TL;DR: The role of DNA-B component in the emergence of the pepper yellow vein Mali virus (PepYVMLV) was investigated in this article , showing that it is not required for systemic movement and symptom development, but that its association produces more severe symptoms including growth arrest and plant death.

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.
