Abstract excerpt
All geminiviruses found in Brazil belong to the Begomovirus genus with a bipartite genome that is split between two genomic components, DNA-A and DNA-B. The DNA-A of the bipartite begomovirus ToCMoV-[MG-Bt] (Tomato chlorotic mottle virus), however, possesses as a peculiar characteristic the capacity to systemically infect Nicotiana benthamiana. Here we further characterize this variant DNA-A and show that it also...
