The replication enhancer proteins (REn), encoded by the C3 (AC3, and AL3) ORFs of geminiviruses, have critical roles in viral DNA accumulation and symptom development in infected plants. In the current study, we have constructed an infectious clone of the Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV) C3 mutant, TbCSVΔC3,...
