Distinct evolutionary histories of the DNA-A and DNA-B components of bipartite begomoviruses
8 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Viruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) have genomes consisting of either one or two genomic components. The component of bipartite begomoviruses known as DNA-A is homologous to the genomes of all geminiviruses and encodes proteins required for replication, control of gene expression, overcoming host defenses, encapsidation and insect transmission. The second component, referred to as...
