Abstract excerpt
Geminiviruses are small, ssDNA-containing plant viruses. Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) and tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV) have bipartite genomes, the components of which are designated A and B. Although they are closely related, BGMV and TGMV nevertheless exhibit distinct host-specific phenotypes, with BGMV being well adapted to beans and TGMV being well adapted to Nicotiana benthamiana. A previous study...
