Abstract excerpt
The host range of individual geminiviruses may be quite narrow, and closely related viruses can exhibit distinct host adaptations. Two such bipartite geminiviruses are bean golden mosaic virus (GBMV) and tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV). In both, the BL1 and BR1 genes are required for the spread of virus infection in plants. We have investigated the contributions of BL1 and BR1 to host-specific phenotypes of...
