The recombination mediator RAD51D promotes geminiviral infection

Kathrin S. Richter, +3 more
- 01 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results show that the RAD51 paralog RAD51D, rather than RAD51 itself, promotes viral replication at early stages of infection, and a model to implicate single-strand annealing recombination in geminiviral recombination-dependent replication is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geminivirus Replication Protein Impairs SUMO Conjugation of Proliferating Cellular Nuclear Antigen at Two Acceptor Sites.

Manuel Arroyo-Mateos, +10 more
- 29 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: This work demonstrates for the first time that sumoylation of plant PCNA occurs in plant cells and that a plant virus interferes with this modification, and constitutes a prime example of how viral proteins interfere with posttranslational modifications of selected host factors to create a proper environment for infection.

Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Sardinia Virus, a Begomovirus Species Evolving by Mutation and Recombination: A Challenge for Virus Control.

Juan A. Díaz-Pendón, +3 more
- 09 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: The confrontation of resistant tomatoes with isolates of different TYLCD-associated viruses including the novel recombinant demonstrates the existence of a variable virus x plant genotype interaction, which is a challenge for the control of their impact on tomato production.

Population Genomics of the Neotropical Brown Stink Bug, Euschistus heros: The Most Important Emerging Insect Pest to Soybean in Brazil.

Maria Imaculada Zucchi, +10 more
- 31 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is found that E. heros populations presented similar levels of genetic diversity with slightly higher values at several central locations in Brazil, and the possibility that GABA channels and odorant receptors might play a role in the process of natural selection is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variability and population structure of the New World begomovirus Euphorbia yellow mosaic virus.

Talita Bernardon Mar, +7 more
- 01 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: Assessment of the genetic variability and population structure of begomoviruses infecting E. heterophylla in samples collected throughout nine Brazilian states from 2009 to 2014 shows negative selection was predominant in all six subpopulations.

Possible emergence of new geminiviruses by frequent recombination.

Malla Padidam, +2 more
- 20 Dec 1999 - 
TL;DR: Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses characterized by a genome of circular single-stranded DNA encapsidated in twinned quasi-isometric particles and recombination is very frequent and occurs between species and within and across genera.

Rates of evolutionary change in viruses: patterns and determinants.

Siobain Duffy, +3 more
- 04 Mar 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the high rate of nucleotide substitution in RNA viruses is matched by some DNA viruses, suggesting that evolutionary rates in viruses are explained by diverse aspects of viral biology, such as genomic architecture and replication speed, and not simply by polymerase fidelity.

RNA-based antiviral immunity

Shou-Wei Ding
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: Recent studies on the features of viral siRNAs and other virus-derived small RNAs from virus-infected fungi, plants, insects, nematodes and vertebrates are reviewed and the innate and adaptive properties of RNA-based antiviral immunity are discussed.

Emerging Virus Diseases Transmitted by Whiteflies

Jesús Navas-Castillo, +2 more
- 12 Aug 2011 - 
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.

Cross-Species Virus Transmission and the Emergence of New Epidemic Diseases

Colin R. Parrish, +8 more
- 01 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: What is known about host switching leading to viral emergence from known examples is reviewed, considering the evolutionary mechanisms, virus-host interactions, host range barriers to infection, and processes that allow efficient host-to-host transmission in the new host population.
