Developing broad-spectrum resistance in cassava against viruses causing the cassava mosaic and the cassava brown streak diseases

Samar Sheat et al.

Summary: Resistance against cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is crucial for growing cassava in Africa. A newly discovered cassava germplasm shows resistance against CBSD, providing a valuable resource for protecting cassava. Our research presents a virus screening workflow that allows for rapid and precise assessment of cassava resistance against CMD and CBSD, enhancing the efficiency of selecting resistant cassava varieties.

An experimental strategy for preparing circular ssDNA virus genomes for next-generation sequencing

Catherine D. Aimone et al.

Summary: This study presents an improved protocol for enhancing the amplification and enrichment of begomovirus DNA using a combination of EquiPhi29 polymerase and size selection. The method achieves cost-effective short-read sequencing, with at least 50% of the reads mapping to the target viral reference genomes. The study also provides insights into misconceptions about RCA and lessons learned from sequencing single-stranded DNA virus genomes.

Functional Characterization of Replication-Associated Proteins Encoded by Alphasatellites Identified in Yunnan Province, China

Liling Zhao et al.

Summary: Alphasatellites associated with begomovirus/betasatellite complexes have been found to modulate disease symptoms and viral DNA accumulation. This study revealed that alpha-Reps have the ability to suppress PTGS and reverse TGS, and they can also enhance the accumulation of helper virus. These findings suggest that alpha-Reps may play a role in overcoming host defense.

Geminiviruses employ host DNA glycosylases to subvert DNA methylation-mediated defense

Xiaojian Gui et al.

Summary: DNA methylation plays important roles in gene regulation and transposon silencing. This study reveals that active DNA demethylation can target viral DNAs and promote their virulence. The beta C1 protein of tomato yellow leaf curl China virus interacts with plant DNA glycosylases to promote demethylation of viral DNA and enhance viral virulence.

Transposable elements in plants: Recent advancements, tools and prospects

Muthusamy Ramakrishnan et al.

Summary: Transposable elements (TEs) are essential genetic elements in plant genomes that can affect host genome size, interact with host genes, and drive tissue-specific epigenetic mechanisms. However, research on TEs in plants is still limited due to a lack of knowledge and genetic information.

Geminiviruses boost active DNA demethylation for counter-defense

Yushuang Guo et al.

Summary: DNA methylation is a regulatory mechanism for gene expression under stress conditions. It has been discovered that geminiviruses can enhance the active DNA demethylation mediated by host DNA glycosylases to subvert the DNA methylation-mediated defense, thus enhancing viral virulence. This finding reveals a unique counter-defense strategy employed by invading pathogens for successful infection.

Identification of Crucial Amino Acids in Begomovirus C4 Proteins Involved in the Modulation of the Severity of Leaf Curling Symptoms

Kao-Wei Dai et al.

Summary: This study found that the coding region of the C4 protein of begomoviruses is involved in determining the direction of leaf curling. Mutational analysis revealed the importance of cysteine and glycine residues in modulating leaf curling symptoms. Manipulating symptoms could be a potential strategy for managing viral diseases.

Plant DNA polymerases α and δ mediate replication of geminiviruses

Mengshi Wu et al.

Summary: Geminiviruses cause substantial damage to crops worldwide. Here Wu et al. show that geminivirus replication relies upon the host DNA polymerases alpha and delta, which produce double-stranded DNA intermediates and new copies of the viral genome, respectively, and is modulated by the viral C3 protein.

Population diversity of cassava mosaic begomoviruses increases over the course of serial vegetative propagation

Catherine D. Aimone et al.

Summary: Cassava mosaic disease poses a serious threat to cassava production in Africa, with vegetative propagation being a key factor influencing viral diversity, while temperature and satellite DNA have minimal impact. The study highlights the importance of understanding how cropping practices affect viral evolution and disease progression.

Geminiviruses encode additional small proteins with specific subcellular localizations and virulence function

Pan Gong et al.

Summary: Geminiviruses are small plant-infecting viruses. The study identifies additional ORFs in geminivirus genomes, with one encoding the protein V3 that localizes to the Golgi and acts as an RNA silencing suppressor. This suggests that small ORFs may play significant roles in plant-geminivirus interactions.
