Abstract excerpt
Natural infections of the geminivirus African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) are known to be associated with low levels of defective interfering (DI) DNAs. Recently it has been demonstrated that extrachromosomal copies of the DI DNA, mobilized and amplified from an integrated DI DNA dimer, can ameliorate ACMV symptoms in transformed Nicotiana benthamiana, providing a possible means for the control of cassava mosaic...
