Abstract
Mutation, recombination and pseudo-recombination are the major forces driving the evolution of viruses by the generation of variants upon which natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow can act to shape the genetic structure of viral populations. Recombination between related virus genomes co-infecting the same cell usually occurs via template swapping during the replication process and produces a chimeric genome. The family Geminiviridae shows the highest evolutionary success among plant virus families, and the common presence of recombination signatures in their genomes reveals a key role in their evolution. This review describes the general characteristics of members of the family Geminiviridae and associated DNA satellites, as well as the extensive occurrence of recombination at all taxonomic levels, from strain to family. The review also presents an overview of the recombination patterns observed in nature that provide some clues regarding the mechanisms involved in the generation and emergence of recombinant genomes. Moreover, the results of experimental evolution studies that support some of the conclusions obtained in descriptive or in silico works are summarized. Finally, the review uses a number of case studies to illustrate those recombination events with evolutionary and pathological implications as well as recombination events in which DNA satellites are involved.

Abstract
Banana Bunchy top virus (BBTV) is a multipartite circular single strand DNA virus that belongs to genus Babuvirus and family Nanoviridae. It causes significant crop losses worldwide and also in Pakistan. BBTV is present in Pakistan since 1988 however, till now only few (about twenty only) sequence of genomic components have been reported from the country. To have insights into current genetic diversity in Pakistan fifty-seven genomic components including five complete genomes (comprises of DNA-R, -U3, -S, -M, -C and -N components) were sequenced in this study. The genetic diversity analysis of populations from Pakistan showed that DNA-R is highly conserved followed by DNA-N, whereas DNA-U3 is highly diverse with the most diverse Common Region Stem-loop (CR-SL) in BBTV genome, a functional region, which previously been reported to have undergone recombination in Pakistani population. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis of entire genomes of isolates by using sequence of all the components concatenated together with the reported genomes around the world revealed deeper insights about the origin of the disease in Pakistan. A comparison of the genetic diversity of Pakistani and entire BBTV populations around the world indicates that there exists a correlation between genetic diversity and recombination. Population genetics analysis indicated that the degree of selection pressure differs depending on the area and genomic component. A detailed analysis of recombination across various components and functional regions suggested that recombination is closely associated with the functional parts of BBTV genome showing high genetic diversity. Both genetic diversity and recombination analyses suggest that the CR-SL is a recombination hotspot in all BBTV genomes and among the six components DNA-U3 is the only recombined component that has extensively undergone inter and intragenomic recombination. Diversity analysis of recombinant regions results on average one and half fold increase and, in some cases up to four-fold increase due to recombination. These results suggest that recombination is significantly contributing to the genetic diversity of BBTV populations around the world.

Abstract
Geminivirus particles, consisting of a pair of twinned isometric structures, have one of the most distinctive capsids in the virological world. Until recently, there was little information as to how these structures are generated. To address this, we developed a system to produce capsid structures following the delivery of geminivirus coat protein and replicating circular single-stranded DNA (cssDNA) by the infiltration of gene constructs into plant leaves. The transencapsidation of cssDNA of the Begomovirus genus by coat protein of different geminivirus genera was shown to occur with full-length but not half-length molecules. Double capsid structures, distinct from geminate capsid structures, were also generated in this expression system. By increasing the length of the encapsidated cssDNA, triple geminate capsid structures, consisting of straight, bent and condensed forms were generated. The straight geminate triple structures generated were similar in morphology to those recorded for a potato-infecting virus from Peru. These finding demonstrate that the length of encapsidated DNA controls both the size and stability of geminivirus particles.

Abstract
The genome of bipartite geminiviruses in the genus Begomovirus comprises two circular DNAs: DNA-A and DNA-B. The DNA-B component encodes a nuclear shuttle protein (NSP) and a movement protein (MP), which cooperate for systemic spread of infectious nucleic acids within host plants and affect pathogenicity. MP mediates multiple functions during intra- and intercellular trafficking, such as binding of viral nucleoprotein complexes, targeting to and modification of plasmodesmata, and release of the cargo after cell-to-cell transfer. For Abutilon mosaic virus (AbMV), phosphorylation of MP expressed in bacteria, yeast, and Nicotiana benthamiana plants, respectively, has been demonstrated in previous studies. Three phosphorylation sites (T221, S223, and S250) were identified in its C-terminal oligomerization domain by mass spectrometry, suggesting a regulation of MP by posttranslational modification. To examine the influence of the three sites on the self-interaction in more detail, MP mutants were tested for their interaction in yeast by two-hybrid assays, or by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) techniques in planta. Expression constructs with point mutations leading to simultaneous (triple) exchange of T221, S223, and S250 to either uncharged alanine (MPAAA), or phosphorylation charge-mimicking aspartate residues (MPDDD) were compared. MPDDD interfered with MP-MP binding in contrast to MPAAA. The roles of the phosphorylation sites for the viral life cycle were studied further, using plant-infectious AbMV DNA-B variants with the same triple mutants each. When co-inoculated with wild-type DNA-A, both mutants infected N. benthamiana plants systemically, but were unable to do so for some other plant species of the families Solanaceae or Malvaceae. Systemically infected plants developed symptoms and viral DNA levels different from those of wild-type AbMV for most virus-plant combinations. The results indicate a regulation of diverse MP functions by posttranslational modifications and underscore their biological relevance for a complex host plant-geminivirus interaction.

Abstract
Betasatellites are a group of circular, single-stranded DNA molecules that are frequently found to be associated with monopartite begomoviruses of the family Geminiviridae. Betasatellites require their helper viruses for replication, movement, and encapsidation and they are often essential for induction of typical disease symptoms. The βC1 protein encoded by betasatellites is multifunctional that participates in diverse cellular events. It interferes with several cellular processes like normal development, chloroplasts, and innate immune system of plants. Recent research has indicated βC1 protein interaction with cellular proteins and its involvement in modulation of the host's cell cycle and symptom determination. This article focuses on the functional mechanisms of βC1 and its interactions with other viral and host proteins.

Abstract
Forty-five papaya samples showing severe leaf curl symptoms were tested by PCR with a degenerate primer set for virus species in the genus Begomovirus. Of these, 29 were positive for tomato leaf curl Bangladesh virus (ToLCBV). The complete genome sequences of ToLCBV (GenBank accession no. MH380003) and its associated tomato leaf curl betasatellite (ToLCB) (MH397223) from papaya isolate Gaz17-Pap were determined and characterized. Defective betasatellites were found in ToLCBV-positive papaya isolates Gaz19-Pap, Gaz20-Pap and Gaz21-Pap. This study confirmed that papaya is a host of ToLCBV, ToLCB, and other defective and recombinant DNA satellites in Bangladesh.

Abstract
Betasatellites associated with geminiviruses can be replicated promiscuously by distinct geminiviruses but exhibit a preference for cognate helper viruses. However, the cis elements responsible for betasatellite origin recognition have not been characterized. In this study, we identified an iteron-like repeated sequence motif, 5'-GAGGACC-3', in a tobacco curly shoot betasatellite (TbCSB) associated with tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV). Competitive DNA binding assays revealed that two core repeats (5'-GGACC-3') are required for specific binding to TbCSV Rep; TbCSB iteron mutants accumulated to greatly reduced levels and lost the cognate helper-mediated replication preference. Interestingly, TbCSV also contains identical repeated sequences that are essential for specific Rep binding and in vivo replication. In order to gain insight into the mechanism by which TbCSB has acquired the cognate iterons, we performed a SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) assay to identify the high-affinity Rep binding ligands from a large pool of randomized sequences. Analysis of SELEX winners showed that all of the sequences contained at least one core iteron-like motif, suggesting that TbCSB has evolved to contain cognate iterons for high-affinity Rep binding. Further analyses of various betasatellite sequences revealed a region upstream of the satellite conserved region replete with iterative sequence motifs, including species-specific repeats and a general repeat (5'-GGTAAAT-3'). Remarkably, the species-specific repeats in many betasatellites are homologous to those in their respective cognate helper begomoviruses, whereas the general repeat is widespread in most of the betasatellite molecules analyzed. These data, taken together, suggest that many betasatellites have evolved to acquire homologous iteron-like sequences for efficient replication mediated by cognate helper viruses.IMPORTANCE The geminivirus-encoded replication initiator protein (Rep) binds to repeated sequence elements (also known as iterons) in the origin of replication that serve as essential cis elements for specific viral replication. Betasatellites associated with begomoviruses can be replicated by cognate or noncognate helper viruses, but the cis elements responsible for betasatellite origin recognition have not been characterized. Using a betasatellite (TbCSB) associated with tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV) as a model, we identify two tandem repeats (iterons) in the Rep-binding motif (RBM) that are required for specific Rep binding and efficient replication, and we show that identical iteron sequences present in TbCSV are also necessary for Rep binding and the replication of helper viruses. Extensive analysis of begomovirus/betasatellite sequences shows that many betasatellites contain iteron-like elements homologous to those of their respective cognate helper begomoviruses. Our data suggest that many betasatellites have evolved to acquire homologous iteron-like sequences for efficient replication mediated by cognate helper viruses.

Abstract
Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) is one of the most economically important diseases and is a constraint to cotton production in major producers, Pakistan and India. CLCuD is caused by monopartite plant viruses belonging to the family Geminiviridae (genus Begomovirus), in association with an essential, disease-specific satellite, Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB) belonging to a newly-established family Tolecusatellitidae (genus Betasatellite). CLCuMuB has a small genome (ca. 1350 nt) with a satellite conserved region, an adenine-rich region and a single gene that encodes for a multifunctional βC1 protein. CLCuMuB βC1 protein has a major role in pathogenicity and symptom determination, and alters several host cellular functions like autophagy, ubiquitination, and suppression of gene silencing, to assist CLCuD infectivity. Efficient trans-replication ability of CLCuMuB with several monopartite and bipartite begomoviruses, is also associated with the rapid evolution and spread of CLCuMuB. In this article we comprehensively reviewed the role of CLCuMuB in CLCuD, focusing on the βC1 functions and its interactions with host proteins.

Abstract
Geminiviruses are plant-infecting viruses characterized by a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome. Geminivirus-derived proteins are multifunctional and effective regulators in modulating the host cellular processes resulting in successful infection. Virus-host interactions result in changes in host gene expression patterns, reprogram plant signaling controls, disrupt central cellular metabolic pathways, impair plant's defense system, and effectively evade RNA silencing response leading to host susceptibility. This review summarizes what is known about the cellular processes in the continuing tug of war between geminiviruses and their plant hosts at the molecular level. In addition, implications for engineered resistance to geminivirus infection in the context of a greater understanding of the molecular processes are also discussed. Finally, the prospect of employing geminivirus-based vectors in plant genome engineering and the emergence of powerful genome editing tools to confer geminivirus resistance are highlighted to complete the perspective on geminivirus-plant molecular interactions.

Abstract
Begomoviruses (single-stranded DNA plant viruses) are responsible for serious agricultural threats. Begomovirus populations exhibit a high degree of within-host genetic variation and evolve as quickly as RNA viruses. Although the recombination-prone nature of begomoviruses has been extensively demonstrated, the relative contribution of recombination and mutation to the genetic variation of begomovirus populations has not been assessed. We estimated the genetic variability of begomovirus datasets from around the world. An uneven distribution of genetic variation across the length of the cp and rep genes due to recombination was evident from our analyses. To estimate the relative contributions of recombination and mutation to the genetic variability of begomoviruses, we mapped all substitutions over maximum likelihood trees and counted the number of substitutions on branches which were associated with recombination (ηr) and mutation (ημ). In addition, we also estimated the per generation relative rates of both evolutionary mechanisms (r/μ) to express how frequently begomovirus genomes are affected by recombination relative to mutation. We observed that the composition of genetic variation in all begomovirus datasets was dominated by mutation. Additionally, the low correlation between the estimates indicated that the relative contributions of recombination and mutation are not necessarily a function of their relative rates. Our results show that, although a considerable fraction of the genetic variation levels could be assigned to recombination, it was always lower than that due to mutation, indicating that the diversification of begomovirus populations is predominantly driven by mutational dynamics.

Abstract
The Begomovirus genus of the family Geminiviridae comprises the largest group of geminiviruses. The list of begomoviruses is continuously increasing as a result of improvement in the methods for identification. Ornamental rose plants (Rosa chinensis) with highly stunted growth and leaf curling were found in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Plants were analyzed for begomovirus infection, through rolling circle amplification and PCR methods. Based on complete genome sequence homologies with other begomoviruses, a new begomovirus species infecting the rose plants was discovered. In this paper, we propose a new species name, Rose leaf curl virus (RoLCuV), for the virus. RoLCuV showed close identity (83 %) with Tomato leaf curl Pakistan virus, while associated betasatellite showed 96 % identity with Digera arvensis yellow vein betasatellite (DiAYVB), justifying a new isolate for the betasatellite. Recombination analysis of newly identified begomovirus revealed it as a recombinant of tomato leaf curl Pakistan virus from its coat protein region. The infectious molecules for virus/satellite were prepared and inoculated through Agrobacterium tumefaciens to N. benthamiana plants. RoLCuV alone was unable to induce any level of symptoms on N. benthamiana plants, but co-inoculation with cognate betasatellite produced infection symptoms. Further investigation to understand the trans-replication ability of betasatellites revealed their flexibility to interact with Rose leaf curl virus.

Abstract
Monopartite begomoviruses and their associated satellites form unique disease complexes that have emerged as a serious threat to agriculture worldwide. It is well known that frequent recombination contributes to the diversification and evolution of geminiviruses. In this study, we identified a novel defective satellite molecule (RecSat) in association with Tobacco leaf curl Yunnan virus (TbLCYNV) in a naturally infected tobacco plant. Sequence analysis showed that Recsat comprises 754 nucleotides in size and is a chimera involving alphasatellite and betasatellite sequences, containing both betasatellite-conserved region and alphasatellite stem-loop structure. Recombination analysis revealed that RecSat has arisen from three independent recombination events likely involving Tomato yellow leaf curl China betasatellite, Ageratum yellow vein China betasatellite and Tobacco curly shoot alphasatellite. Co-inoculation of RecSat with TbLCYNV induced symptoms indistinguishable from those induced by TbLCYNV alone in Nicotiana benthamiana. Southern blot hybridization showed that RecSat could be trans-replicated stably in N. benthamiana plants by TbLCYNV, and impaired the accumulation of helper virus and co-inoculated alphasatellite. Our results provide the first evidence for recombination between two distinct types of satellites among geminivirus complex and highlight recombination as a driving force for geminivirus evolution.

Abstract
A begomovirus isolate (OY136A) collected from okra plants showing upward leaf curling, vein clearing, vein thickening and yellowing symptoms from Bangalore rural district, Karnataka, India was characterized. The sequence comparisons revealed that, this virus isolate share highest nucleotide identity with isolates of Cotton leaf curl Bangalore virus (CLCuBV) (AY705380) (92.8 %) and Okra enation leaf curl virus (81.1-86.2 %). This is well supported by phylogentic analysis showing, close clustering of the virus isolate with CLCuBV. With this data, based on the current taxonomic criteria for the genus Begomovirus, the present virus isolate is classified as a new strain of CLCuBV, for which CLCuBV-[India: Bangalore: okra: 2006] additional descriptor is proposed. The betasatellite (KC608158) associated with the virus is having more than 95 % sequence similarity with the cotton leaf curl betasatellites (CLCuB) available in the GenBank.The recombination analysis suggested, emergence of this new strain of okra infecting begomovirus might have been from the exchange of genetic material between BYVMV and CLCuMuV. The virus was successfully transmitted by whitefly and grafting. The host range of the virus was shown to be very narrow and limited to two species in the family Malvaceae, okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and hollyhock (Althaea rosea), and four in the family Solanaceae.

Abstract
Begomoviruses are ssDNA plant viruses that cause serious epidemics in economically important crops worldwide. Non-cultivated plants also harbour many begomoviruses, and it is believed that these hosts may act as reservoirs and as mixing vessels where recombination may occur. Begomoviruses are notoriously recombination-prone, and also display nucleotide substitution rates equivalent to those of RNA viruses. In Brazil, several indigenous begomoviruses have been described infecting tomatoes following the introduction of a novel biotype of the whitefly vector in the mid-1990s. More recently, a number of viruses from non-cultivated hosts have also been described. Previous work has suggested that viruses infecting non-cultivated hosts have a higher degree of genetic variability compared with crop-infecting viruses. We intensively sampled cultivated and non-cultivated plants in similarly sized geographical areas known to harbour either the weed-infecting Macroptilium yellow spot virus (MaYSV) or the crop-infecting Tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV), and compared the molecular evolution and population genetics of these two distantly related begomoviruses. The results reinforce the assertion that infection of non-cultivated plant species leads to higher levels of standing genetic variability, and indicate that recombination, not adaptive selection, explains the higher begomovirus variability in non-cultivated hosts.

Abstract
Begomoviruses are numerous and geographically widespread viruses that cause devastating diseases in many crops. Monopartite begomoviruses are frequently associated with betasatellites or alphasatellites. Both betasatellite and alphasatellite DNA genomes are approximately half the size of begomovirus DNA genomes. Betasatellites are essential for induction of typical disease symptoms. The βC1 genes encoded by the betasatellites have important roles in symptom induction, in suppression of transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing, and they can affect jasmonic acid responsive genes. Host plants of begomoviruses have evolved diverse innate defense mechanisms against the βC1 protein to counter these challenges. Alphasatellites have been identified mainly in monopartite begomoviruses that associate with betasatellites and have no known contributions to pathogenesis of begomovirus-betasatellite disease complexes. Applications of current molecular tools are facilitating viral diagnosis and the discovery of novel species of geminiviruses and satellite DNAs and are also advancing our understanding of the global diversity and evolution of satellite DNAs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a major food source for over 200 million sub-Saharan Africans. Unfortunately, its cultivation is severely hampered by cassava mosaic disease (CMD). Caused by a complex of bipartite cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMG) species (Family: Geminivirideae; Genus: Begomovirus) CMD has been widely described throughout Africa and it is apparent that CMG's are expanding their geographical distribution. Determining where and when CMG movements have occurred could help curtail its spread and reveal the ecological and anthropic factors associated with similar viral invasions. We applied Bayesian phylogeographic inference and recombination analyses to available and newly described CMG sequences to reconstruct a plausible history of CMG diversification and migration between Africa and South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) islands. RESULTS The isolation and analysis of 114 DNA-A and 41 DNA-B sequences demonstrated the presence of three CMG species circulating in the Comoros and Seychelles archipelagos (East African cassava mosaic virus, EACMV; East African cassava mosaic Kenya virus, EACMKV; and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus, EACMCV). Phylogeographic analyses suggest that CMG's presence on these SWIO islands is probably the result of at least four independent introduction events from mainland Africa occurring between 1988 and 2009. Amongst the islands of the Comoros archipelago, two major migration pathways were inferred: One from Grande Comore to Mohéli and the second from Mayotte to Anjouan. While only two recombination events characteristic of SWIO islands isolates were identified, numerous re-assortments events were detected between EACMV and EACMKV, which seem to almost freely interchange their genome components. CONCLUSIONS Rapid and extensive virus spread within the SWIO islands was demonstrated for three CMG complex species. Strong evolutionary or ecological interaction between CMG species may explain both their propensity to exchange components and the absence of recombination with non-CMG begomoviruses. Our results suggest an important role of anthropic factors in CMGs spread as the principal axes of viral migration correspond with major routes of human movement and commercial trade. Finer-scale temporal analyses of CMGs to precisely scale the relative contributions of human and insect transmission to their movement dynamics will require further extensive sampling in the SWIO region.

Abstract
CLCuD in southern Asia is caused by a complex of multiple begomoviruses (whitefly transmitted, single-stranded [ss]DNA viruses) in association with a specific ssDNA satellite; Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB). A further single ssDNA molecule, for which the collective name alphasatellites has been proposed, is also frequently associated with begomovirus-betasatellite complexes. Multan is in the center of the cotton growing area of Pakistan and has seen some of the worst problems caused by CLCuD. An exhaustive analysis of the diversity of begomoviruses and their satellites occurring in 15 Gossypium species (including G. hirsutum, the mainstay of Pakistan's cotton production) that are maintained in an orchard in the vicinity of Multan has been conducted using φ29 DNA polymerase-mediated rolling-circle amplification, cloning and sequence analysis. The non-cultivated Gossypium species, including non-symptomatic plants, were found to harbor a much greater diversity of begomoviruses and satellites than found in the cultivated G. hirsutum. Furthermore an African cassava mosaic virus (a virus previously only identified in Africa) DNA-A component and a Jatropha curcas mosaic virus (a virus occurring only in southern India) DNA-B component were identified. Consistent with earlier studies of cotton in southern Asia, only a single species of betasatellite, CLCuMuB, was identified. The diversity of alphasatellites was much greater, with many previously unknown species, in the non-cultivated cotton species than in G. hirsutum. Inoculation of newly identified components showed them to be competent for symptomatic infection of Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The significance of the findings with respect to our understanding of the role of host selection in virus diversity in crops and the geographical spread of viruses by human activity are discussed.

Abstract
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and Ageratum yellow vein betasatellite (AYVB) are members of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae). TYLCV and AYVB have been found in Japan over the last 15 years, and are associated with tomato leaf curl and the tomato yellow leaf curl diseases (TYLCD). AYVB is also associated with some monopartite begomoviruses. We have cloned both TYLCV and AYVB and demonstrated that TYLCV can trans-replicate with AYVB in Nicotiana benthamiana and tomato plants. A mixed infection of TYLCV and AYVB induced more severe symptoms of upward leaf curl, stunting, vein thickening, and swelling compared with TYLCV infection alone. The symptoms induced by infection of AYVB included a rise in abnormal cell proliferation, and pigmentation around leaf vein tissues. This is the first study to show that a complex of TYLCV and AYVB can be transmitted by vector insects among tomato plants. These results indicate that TYLCV possesses the potential to induce severe TYLCD by associating with AYVB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Begomoviruses have emerged as serious problem for vegetable and fiber crops in the recent past, frequently in tropical and subtropical region of the world. The association of begomovirus with eggplant yellow mosaic disease is hitherto unknown apart from one report from Thailand. A survey in Nagpur, Central India, in 2009-2010 showed severe incidence of eggplant yellow mosaic disease. Here, we have identified and characterized a begomovirus responsible for the newly emerging yellow mosaic disease of eggplant in India. RESULTS The complete DNA-A and DNA-B genomic components of the causative virus were cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequence analysis of DNA-A showed that it shared highest 97.6% identity with Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-India[India:Udaipur:Okra:2007] and lowest 87.9% identity with Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-India[India:NewDelhi:Papaya:2005], while DNA-B showed highest 94.1% identity with ToLCNDV-IN[IN:UD:Ok:07] and lowest 76.2% identity with ToLCNDV-India[India:Lucknow]. Thus, it appears that this begomovirus is a variant of ubiquitous ToLCNDV and hence, we suggest the name ToLCNDV-India[India:Nagpur:Eggplant:2009] for this variant. The pathogenicity of ToLCNDV-IN[IN:Nag:Egg:09] isolate was confirmed by agroinfiltraion and dimeric clones of DNA-A and DNA-B induced characteristic yellow mosaic symptoms in eggplants and leaf curling in tomato plants. CONCLUSION This is the first report of a ToLCNDV variant moving to a new agriculturally important host, eggplant and causing yellow mosaic disease. This is also a first experimental demonstration of Koch's postulate for a begomovirus associated with eggplant yellow mosaic disease.

Abstract
Viruses serve as good model for evolutionary studies, owing to their short generation times and small genomes. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is a significant subject being multicomponent circular single stranded DNA virus. BBTV belongs to family Nanoviridae and contains DNA-R, -U3, -S, -M, -C, and -N as integral genomic components. Evolutionary studies have shown genetic re-assortment of components among its isolates and revealed a concerted type evolution in non-coding regions of its genome. The DNA U3 having been shown as the most diverse component in our previous studies, was subjected to sequencing from some Pakistani isolates for the first time. Sequence analysis revealed intergenomic recombination in DNA-U3 among the isolates of two sub-groups and a very rare intragenomic recombination in Pakistani BBTV population. This indicates that like other evolutionary processes including intergenomic recombination, intragenomic recombination among the genomic components of the same isolate may also have a significant contribution in the evolution of BBTV genome. Intragenomic recombination therefore appears to be a unique way to generate genetic diversity in the multicomponent ssDNA viruses.

Abstract
Monopartite begomoviruses comprise DNA-A as the main genome and associated satellite DNAs. Viral DNA extracted from guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) showing leaf curl symptoms exhibited positive amplification of coat protein (CP) gene of DNA-A component, suggesting the presence of begomovirus. Full length DNA-A was amplified by primer pair re-designed from CP gene nucleotide sequence. The associated alphasatellite and betasatellite DNA molecules were amplified and sequenced, confirming the presence of monopartite begomovirus. Sequence comparisons showed 89% identity with other begomoviruses. The Neighbor-Joining tree based on full length DNA-A nucleotide sequence showed that the guar infecting begomovirus clustered separately from other known begomoviruses. The betasatellite shared a high (96%) nucleotide identity to Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellites. The alphasatellite showed 91% nucleotide identity to alphasatellite associated with begomovirus infecting Okra. Recombination analyses showed three recombinant fragments in DNA-A, two in betasatellite, and four in alphasatellite. The results suggest that the begomovirus identified in this study was a new recombinant virus. Its name was proposed as Cyamopsis tetragonoloba leaf curl virus (CyTLCuV).

Abstract
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 DNA-B, encodes two proteins with functions in intra- and intercellular movement in host plants. The origin of the DNA-B component remains unclear. The study described here was initiated to investigate the relationship between the DNA-A and DNA-B components of bipartite begomoviruses with a view to unraveling their evolutionary histories and providing information on the possible origin of the DNA-B component. RESULTS Comparative phylogenetic and exhaustive pairwise sequence comparison of all DNA-A and DNA-B components of begomoviruses demonstrates that the two molecules have very distinct molecular evolutionary histories and likely are under very different evolutionary pressures. The analysis highlights that component exchange has played a far greater role in diversification of begomoviruses than previously suspected, although there are distinct differences in the apparent ability of different groups of viruses to utilize this "sexual" mechanism of genetic exchange. Additionally we explore the hypothesis that DNA-B originated as a satellite that was captured by the monopartite progenitor of all extant bipartite begomoviruses and subsequently evolved to become the integral (essential) genome component that we recognize today. The situation with present-day satellites associated with begomoviruses provides some clues to the processes and selection pressures that may have led to the "domestication" of a wild progenitor of the DNA-B component. CONCLUSIONS The analysis has highlighted the greater genetic variation of DNA-B components, in comparison to the DNA-A components, and that component exchange is more widespread than previously demonstrated and confined to viruses from the Old World. Although the vast majority of New World and some Old World begomoviruses show near perfect co-evolution of the DNA-A and DNA-B components, this is not the case for the majority of Old World viruses. Genetic differences between Old and New World begomoviruses and the cultivation of exotic crops in the Old World are likely factors that have led to this dichotomy.

Abstract
Papaya leaf curl China virus (PaLCuCNV) was previously reported as a distinct begomovirus infecting papaya in southern China. Based on molecular diagnostic survey, 13 PaLCuCNV isolates were obtained from tomato plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Henan and Guangxi Provinces of China. Complete nucleotide sequences of 5 representative isolates (AJ558116, AJ558117, AJ704604, FN256260, and FN297834) were determined to be 2738-2751 nucleotides, which share 91.7%-97.9% sequence identities with PaLCuCNV isolate G2 (AJ558123). DNA-beta was not found to be associated with PaLCuCNV isolates. To investigate the infectivity of PaLCuCNV, an infectious clone of PaLCuCNV-[CN:HeNZM1] was constructed and agro-inoculated into Nicotiana benthamiana, N. tabacum Samsun, N. glutinosa, Solanum lycopersicum and Petunia hybrida plants, which induced severe leaf curling and crinkling symptoms in these plants. Southern blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicated a systemic infection of test plants by the agro-infectious clone.

Abstract
Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) cause major losses to crops throughout the tropical regions of the world. Begomoviruses originating from the New World (NW) and the Old World (OW) are genetically distinct. Whereas the majority of OW begomoviruses have monopartite genomes and whereas most of these associate with a class of symptom-modulating satellites (known as betasatellites), the genomes of NW begomoviruses are exclusively bipartite and do not associate with satellites. Here, we show for the first time that a betasatellite (cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite [CLCuMuB]) associated with a serious disease of cotton across southern Asia is capable of interacting with a NW begomovirus. In the presence of CLCuMuB, the symptoms of the NW cabbage leaf curl virus (CbLCuV) are enhanced in Nicotiana benthamiana. However, CbLCuV was unable to interact with a second betasatellite, chili leaf curl betasatellite. Although CbLCuV can transreplicate CLCuMuB, satellite accumulation levels in plants were low. However, progeny CLCuMuB isolated after just one round of infection with CbLCuV contained numerous mutations. Reinoculation of one such progeny CLCuMuB with CbLCuV to N. benthamiana yielded infections with significantly higher satellite DNA levels. This suggests that betasatellites can rapidly adapt for efficient transreplication by a new helper begomovirus, including begomoviruses originating from the NW. Although the precise mechanism of transreplication of betasatellites by begomoviruses remains unknown, an analysis of betasatellite mutants suggests that the sequence(s) required for maintenance of CLCuMuB by one of its cognate begomoviruses (cotton leaf curl Rajasthan virus) differs from the sequences required for maintenance by CbLCuV. The significance of these findings and, particularly, the threat that betasatellites pose to agriculture in the NW, are discussed.

Abstract
SUMMARY Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) is one of the most devastating crop diseases and a major constraint for cassava cultivation. CMD has been reported only from the African continent and Indian subcontinent despite the large-scale cultivation of cassava in Latin America and several South-East Asian countries. Seven CMG species have been reported from Africa and two from the Indian subcontinent and, in addition, several strains have been recognized. Recombination and pseudo-recombination between CMGs give rise not only to different strains, but also to members of novel virus species with increased virulence and a new source of biodiversity, causing severe disease epidemics. CMGs are known to trigger gene silencing in plants and, in order to counteract this natural host defence, geminiviruses have evolved suppressor proteins. Temperature and other environmental factors can affect silencing and suppression, and thus modulate the symptoms. In the case of mixed infections of two or more CMGs, there is a possibility for a synergistic interaction as a result of the presence of differential and combinatorial suppressor proteins. In this article, we provide the status of recent research findings with regard to the CMD complex, present the molecular biology knowledge of CMGs with reference to other geminiviruses, and highlight the mechanisms by which CMGs have exploited nature to their advantage.

Abstract
Begomovirus-DNA-beta disease complexes induce different symptom phenotypes in their hosts. To investigate the genetic determinants of the phenotypic differences, Nicotiana spp. and tomato plants were inoculated with infectious clones of Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV)/TbCSV DNA-beta (TbCSB) and Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV)/TYLCCNV DNA-beta (TYLCCNB) pseudorecombinants and showed that TYLCCNB induced characteristic vein-thickening and enation symptoms, while TbCSB only slightly exacerbated the leaf-curling symptoms, regardless of the helper virus being used. The roles of DNA-beta-encoded betaC1 and a 430-nucleotide fragment containing the A-rich region and the putative betaC1 promoter region of the betaC1 gene (referred to as AP) in symptom development were further investigated by constructing hybrid satellites in which the betaC1 coding region or AP was exchanged between the two satellite molecules. A TYLCCNB hybrid with TbCSB betaC1 lost the ability to elicit the vein-thickening and enation phenotypes. TbCSB hybrids containing the TYLCCNB betaC1 or AP fragment failed to induce the characteristic vein thickening and enations. A TYLCCNB hybrid having the TbCSB AP fragment produced the enations, but the number of enations was less and their sizes were reduced. Differently from the phloem-specific pattern of the TYLCCNB promoter, a full-length fragment upstream of the TbCSB betaC1 gene confers a constitutive beta-glucuronidase expression pattern in transgenic tobacco plants. The above results indicate that the DNA-beta-encoded betaC1 protein is the symptom determinant, but the promoter of the betaC1 gene has influence on symptom production.

Abstract
Pseudorecombination studies in Nicotiana benthamiana demonstrate that Ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV) and Eupatorium yellow vein virus (EpYVV) can functionally interact with DNA-beta satellites associated with AYVV, EpYVV, cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMV) and honeysuckle yellow vein virus (HYVV). In contrast, CLCuMV shows some specificity in its ability to interact with distinct satellites and HYVV is able to interact only with its own satellite. Using an N. benthamiana leaf disk assay, we have demonstrated that HYVV is unable to trans-replicate other satellites. To investigate the basis of trans-replication compatibility, deletion mutagenesis of AYVV DNA-beta has been used to localize the origin of replication to approximately 360 nt, encompassing the ubiquitous nonanucleotide/stem-loop structure, satellite conserved region (SCR) and part of the intergenic region immediately upstream of the SCR. Additional deletions within this intergenic region have identified a region that is essential for replication. The capacity for DNA-beta satellites to functionally interact with distinct geminivirus species and its implications for disease diversification are discussed.

Abstract
The symptom-modulating, single-stranded DNA satellites (known as DNA-beta) associated with begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) have proven to be widespread and important components of a large number of plant diseases across the Old World. Since they were first identified in 2000, over 260 full-length sequences (approximately 1,360 nucleotides) have been deposited with databases, and this number increases daily. This has highlighted the need for a standardised, concise and unambiguous nomenclature for these components, as well as a meaningful and robust classification system. Pairwise comparisons of all available full-length DNA-beta sequences indicate that the minimum numbers of pairs occur at a sequence identity of 78%, which we propose as the species demarcation threshold for a distinct DNA-beta. This threshold value divides the presently known DNA-beta sequences into 51 distinct satellite species. In addition, we propose a naming convention for the satellites that is based upon the system already in use for geminiviruses. This maintains, whenever possible, the association with the helper begomovirus, the disease symptoms and the host plant and provides a logical and consistent system for referring to already recognised and newly identified satellites.

Abstract
Recombinant DNA β molecules (RecDNA-Aβ) comprising parts of DNA A and DNA β associated with tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) have been identified in naturally infected tobacco plants. Several examples of the recombinant DNA have been cloned and characterized by sequence analysis. All are approximately half the size of TYLCCNV genomic DNA, and all contain the βC1 gene and the A-rich region from TYLCCNV DNA β as well as intergenic region sequences and the 5′ terminus of the AC1 gene from TYLCCNV DNA A. RecDNA-Aβ was detected by PCR in five of 25 TYLCCNV isolates. Co-inoculation of TYLCCNV DNA A and RecDNA-Aβ induced symptoms indistinguishable from those induced by TYLCCNV DNA A and DNA β in Nicotiana benthamiana, Nicotiana glutinosa, Solanum lycopersicum and Petunia hybrida plants, and Southern blot hybridization results showed that RecDNA-Aβ could replicate stably in N. benthamiana plants.

Abstract
Cloned DNA-A and DNA-B components of Kenyan isolates of East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV, EACMV-UG and EACMV-KE2), East African cassava mosaic Kenya virus (EACMKV) and East African cassava mosaic Zanzibar virus (EACMZV) are shown to be infectious in cassava. EACMV and EACMKV genomic components have the same iteron sequence (GGGGG) and can form viable pseudorecombinants, while EACMZV components have a different sequence (GGAGA) and are incompatible with EACMV and EACMKV. Mutagenesis of EACMZV has demonstrated that open reading frames (ORFs) AV1 (encoding the coat protein), AV2 and AC4 are not essential for a symptomatic infection of cassava, although mutants of both ORF AV1 and AV2 produce attenuated symptoms in this host. Furthermore, ORF AV1 and AV2 mutants were compromised for coat protein production, suggesting a close structural and/or functional relationship between these coding regions or their protein products.

Abstract
Leaf samples of Siegesbeckia glabrescens showing yellow vein, enation, and stunting symptoms were collected in Guangdong province, China. A specific 500-bp product was consistently detected in total DNA extracts, amplified with universal primers specific for members of the genus Begomovirus. Comparison of partial DNA sequences revealed that these virus isolates were identical, and therefore isolates GD13, GD24 and GD27 were selected for further sequence analysis. The complete nucleotide sequences of GD13, GD24 and GD27 were all found to be 2768 nucleotides (nts) long, with two open reading frames (ORFs) in the virion-sense strand and four ORFs in the complementary-sense strand, typical of the Old World begomoviruses. Sequence identities among the three isolates ranged from 99.7 to 99.8%. When compared with other reported sequences of begomoviruses, GD13 was most closely related to papaya leaf curl China virus (AJ876548), with a sequence identity of 76.8%. In addition, all isolates were found to be associated with DNAbeta molecules. The complete DNAbeta sequences of isolates GD13, GD24 and GD27 were determined. Sequence analysis showed that they had highest sequence identity with DNAbeta of Eupatorium yellow vein virus (AJ438938) (44.0, 43.9 and 45.6% identity). GD13, GD24 and GD27 are considered to be isolates of a distinct begomovirus species for which the name Siegesbeckia yellow vein virus (SgYVV) is proposed.

Abstract
Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) are responsible for many economically important crop diseases worldwide. The majority of these diseases are caused by bipartite begomovirus infections, although a rapidly growing number of diseases of the Old World are associated with monopartite begomoviruses. With the exception of several diseases of tomato, most of these are caused by a monopartite begomovirus in association with a recently discovered essential satellite component (DNA-beta). These begomovirus/satellite disease complexes are widespread and diverse and collectively infect a wide variety of crops, weeds and ornamental plants. Non-essential subviral components (DNA-1) originating from nanoviruses are frequently associated with these disease complexes, and there are tantalizing hints that further novel satellites may also be associated with some begomovirus diseases. DNA-beta components can be maintained in permissive plants by more than one distinct begomovirus, reflecting less stringent requirements for trans-replication that will undoubtedly encourage diversification and adaptation as a consequence of component exchange and recombination. In view of their impact on agriculture, there is a pressing need to develop a more comprehensive picture of the diversity and distribution of the disease complexes. A greater understanding of how they elicit the host response may provide useful information for their control as well as an insight into plant developmental processes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We demonstrated that only 11 isolates were associated with DNAbeta among 39 Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV)-infected, field-collected samples. An infectious clone of TbCSV-[Y35], an isolate associated with DNAbeta, induced severe upward leaf curling in Nicotiana benthamiana. In the presence of its cognate DNAbeta (TbCSV-[Y35] DNAbeta), the symptom changed to a downward leaf curl. Furthermore, TbCSV-[Y35] alone was able to induce severe symptoms in tobacco and tomato plants, although co-infection with DNAbeta intensified symptom severity in tobacco plants. In contrast to other begomovirus-DNAbeta complexes, the satellite had no effect on the accumulation of TbCSV-[Y35] DNA in systemically infected host plants. The betaC1 mutant caused symptoms comparable to those induced by TbCSV-[Y35] in the absence of DNAbeta. TbCSV-[Y35] can be transmitted between plants by a whitefly vector, regardless of the presence or absence of DNAbeta. For a TbCSV isolate not associated with DNAbeta (TbCSV-[Y1]), systemic infection of N. benthamiana induced symptoms resembling those of TbCSV-[Y35]. Co-infection of TbCSV-[Y1] with TbCSV-[Y35] DNAbeta induced symptoms similar to those following infection by TbCSV-[Y35] and its DNAbeta. This indicates that TbCSV DNAbeta is not necessary for infection but intensifies symptoms in a host-dependent manner. Thus, TbCSV may represent an evolutionary intermediate between the DNAbeta requiring begomoviruses and the truly monopartite begomoviruses. The relevance of these results to our present understanding of the evolution of begomovirus-satellite disease complexes is discussed.

Abstract
DNAbeta molecules are single-stranded satellite DNA associated with monopartite begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae). DNAbeta possesses a C1 gene on the complementary strand, which has a conserved position and size. To better understand the function of C1 gene in virus infection, a C1 deletion DNAbeta associated with a Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) isolate was constructed. Co-agroinoculation with TYLCCNV showed the truncated DNAbeta was infectious in Nicotiana benthamiana and N. glutinosa plants but not in N. tabacum Samsun, N. tabacum and Lycopersicon esculentum plants. The wild-type TYLCCNV DNAbeta co-agroinoculated with TYLCCNV caused systemic infection in all the above hosts. Results of Southern blot analysis indicate that C1 gene is not required for TYLCCNV and DNAbeta replication. However, the presence of C1 gene in DNAbeta can increase both TYLCCNV and DNAbeta accumulation in infected plants. The truncated TYLCCNV DNAbeta was stable in N. benthamiana and N. glutinosa plants.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Numerous whitefly-transmitted viral diseases of tomato have emerged in countries around the Nile and Mediterranean Basins the last 20 years. These diseases are caused by monopartite geminiviruses (family Gemini viridae) belonging to the genus Begomovirus that probably resulted from numerous recombination events. The molecular biodiversity of these viruses was investigated to better appreciate the role and importance of recombination and to better clarify the phylogenetic relationships and classification of these viruses. The analysis partitioned the tomato-infecting begomoviruses from this region into two major clades, Tomato yellow leaf curl virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus. Phylogenetic and pairwise analyses together with an evaluation for gene conversion were performed from which taxonomic classification and virus biodiversity conclusions were drawn. Six recombination hotspots and three homogeneous zones within the genome were identified among the tomatoinfecting isolates and species examined here, suggesting that the recombination events identified were not random occurrences.

Abstract
Cotton leaf curl Gezira virus (CLCuGV), a species of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae), was recently cloned from cotton, okra, and Sida alba plants exhibiting leaf-curling and vein-thickening symptoms in Sudan. Here, we describe a previously unknown lineage of single-stranded DNA satellite (satDNA) molecules, which are associated with CLCuGV, and are required for development of characteristic disease symptoms. Co-inoculation of cotton and Nicotiana benthamiana plants with satDNAs cloned from cotton, okra, and S. alba, together with CLCuGV as the 'helper virus' resulted in the development of characteristic leaf-curling and vein-thickening symptoms in both hosts. An anatomical study of symptomatic, virus-infected cotton leaves revealed that spongy parenchyma cells had developed instead of collenchyma cells at the sites of vein thickening. Phylogenetically, the CLCuGV-associated satDNAs from Sudan, together with their closest relatives from Egypt, form a new satDNA lineage comprising only satDNAs from the Upper and Lower Nile Basins. Analysis of satellites and their helper virus sequences identified a predicted REP-binding site consisting of the directly repeated sequence, 'CGGTACTCA', and an inverted repeated sequence, 'TGAGTACCG', which occur in the context of a 17-nucleotide motif. The conserved REP-binding motif identified herein, together with strict geographic isolation, and apparent host-restriction, may be the collective hallmark of these new satDNA-begomovirus lineages, extant in the Nile Basin.

Abstract
DNA 1 components are satellite-like, single-stranded DNA molecules associated with begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) that require the satellite molecule DNA beta to induce authentic disease symptoms in some hosts. They have been shown to be present in the begomovirus-DNA beta complexes causing cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) and okra leaf curl disease (OLCD) in Pakistan as well as Ageratum yellow vein disease (AYVD) in Singapore. We have cloned and sequenced a further 17 DNA 1 molecules from a diverse range of plant species and geographical origins. The analysis shows that DNA 1 components are associated with the majority of begomovirus-DNA beta complexes, being absent from only two of the complexes examined, both of which have their origins in Far East Asia. The sequences showed a high level of conservation as well as a common organization consisting of a single open reading frame (ORF) in the virion sense, a region of sequence rich in adenine and a predicted hairpin structure. In phylogenetic analyses, there was some evidence of grouping of DNA 1 molecules according to geographic origin, but less evidence for grouping according to host plant origin. The possible origin and function of DNA 1 components are discussed in light of these findings.

Abstract
Ageratum yellow vein disease (AYVD) is caused by the geminivirus ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV) and an associated DNA beta satellite. We have mapped a DNA beta transcript to a highly conserved open reading frame (betaC1 ORF). The most abundant transcript 5'-terminus is located 8 bases upstream of the betaC1 ORF putative initiation codon while the transcript terminates at multiple sites downstream from the putative termination codon. Disruption of betaC1 protein expression by the introduction of an internal nonsense codon prevented infection of the AYVV-satellite complex in ageratum and altered the phenotype in Nicotiana benthamiana to that produced by AYVV alone although the mutant was maintained in systemically infected tissues. Modification of the putative initiation codon to a nonsense codon produced an intermediate phenotype in N. benthamiana and a mild yellow vein phenotype in ageratum, suggesting that betaC1 protein expression could be initiated from an alternative site. N. benthamiana plants containing a dimeric DNA beta transgene produced severe developmental abnormalities, vein-greening, and cell proliferation in the vascular bundles. Expression of betaC1 protein from a potato virus X (PVX) vector also induced abnormal plant growth. Our results demonstrate that the satellite encodes at least one protein that plays a major role in symptom development and is essential for disease progression in ageratum, the natural host of the AYVD complex.

Abstract
Ageratum conyzoides (ageratum) is a common and widespread weed species that may act as a reservoir host for geminivirus diseases. Ageratum plants growing in Singapore and exhibiting yellow vein disease are infected with a complex mixture of viral, subviral and recombinant DNA components. This whitefly-transmitted disease is caused by the monopartite begomovirus ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV) in association with a recently discovered satellite component referred to as DNA beta. Diseased plants also contain a subviral component, referred to as DNA 1, that has probably become associated with the begomovirus and adapted to whitefly transmission during mixed infection with an aphid-transmitted nanovirus. Unlike DNA beta, the nanovirus-like component is not essential for the disease. Recombination between the viral and subviral DNAs occurs frequently and may play an important evolutionary role by generating component diversity. The identification of a similar complex associated with cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD), a serious constraint to cotton growing in Pakistan, and the isolation of DNA beta homologues from diverse plant species growing in widespread geographical locations suggests that such disease complexes are common and may have a significant impact on agriculture in the eastern hemisphere.

Abstract
UNLABELLED SUMMARY Cotton leaf curl is a serious disease of cotton and several other malvaceous plant species that is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. The disease is, at this time, endemic throughout Pakistan and epidemic in Western India. Affected cotton plants exhibit a range of symptoms such as leaf curling, stunted growth and a poor yield of cotton fibre. In addition, affected plants may develop leaf-like outgrowths from the veins on the undersides of leaves. A number of distinct begomoviruses have been shown to be associated with infected plants, all of which require a satellite component (DNA beta) to induce symptoms in cotton. DNA beta components are a group of recently identified, symptom modulating, single-stranded satellite molecules. An additional, satellite-like component, DNA 1, is invariably found in diseased plants, although it is not required for disease development. TAXONOMY The viruses associated with the CLCuD complex on the Indian subcontinent, five of which have been identified thus far (Table 1), are all single component begomoviruses (genus Begomovirus family Geminiviridae). The satellite (DNA beta) and satellite-like (DNA 1) components have yet to be classified, although the DNA 1 components are closely related to, and thought to have originated from, components of a second group of single-stranded DNA viruses, the nanoviruses (family Nanoviridae). Physical properties: The begomoviruses associated with CLCuD, like all geminiviruses, have geminate (twinned) particles, approximately 18-20 nm in diameter and 30 nm long, consisting of two incomplete T = 1 icosahedra joined together in a structure with 22 pentameric capsomers and 110 identical protein subunits. It is probable, although not conclusively proven, that the DNA 1 and DNA beta components, being half the size of the viral component, are encapsidated in monomeric, rather than geminate particles. Disease symptoms: Symptoms in cotton usually appear within 2-3 weeks of inoculation by B. tabaci (determined experimentally (Singh et al., 1997)) and are initially characterized by a deep downward cupping of the youngest leaves. This is followed by either upward or downward curling of the leaf margins, swelling and darkening of the veins as well as the formation of enations on the veins, which frequently (dependant on variety) develop into cup-shaped, leaf-like structures (Fig. 1). Disease control: Control of CLCuD is mainly based on insecticide treatments against the insect vector (Bemisia tabaci). Roguing, the removal of affected plants, particularly of ratoon cotton from the previous seasons crop, is recommended but appears to have little affect in reducing the incidence of the disease. More recently, resistant cotton cultivars have been introduced that were developed by conventional breeding/selection. After initially showing promise in the control of CLCuD, recent reports have suggested that the virus complex has overcome the resistance.

Abstract
Agroinfection of bipartite geminiviruses is routinely done by mixing two Agrobacterium strains that independently harbor partial tandem repeats of DNA A and DNA B. We report here an improved agroinfection method for bipartite geminiviruses that utilizes one strain of Agrobacterium that harbors DNA A and DNA B partial tandem repeats on two compatible replicons. A cointegrate vector, pGV2260∷pGV1.3A, with the partial tandem repeat of Mungbean yellow mosaic virus-Vi (MYMV-Vi) DNA A and a binary vector, pGA1.9B, with the partial tandem repeat of MYMV-Vi DNA B gave an agroinfection efficiency of 24% when harbored in two Agrobacterium strains and an efficiency of 61% when harbored in one Agrobacterium strain. A combination of binary vectors, pGA1.9A with MYMV-Vi DNA A partial tandem repeat and pGA1.9B with DNA B partial tandem repeat, gave an agroinfection efficiency of 74% when harbored in two strains. But pGA1.9A and pPZP1.9B (a partial tandem repeat of DNA B), when present in the same Agrobacterium strain, gave 100% agroinfection. Accumulation of viral DNA was shown by Southern blotting. The single-strain method using two compatible replicons consistently gave 100% agroinfection efficiency.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pepper huasteco virus (PHV) and Pepper golden mosaic virus (PepGMV) are found in mixtures in many horticultural crops in Mexico. This combination constitutes an interesting, naturally occurring model system to study several aspects of virus-virus interactions. Possible interactions between PHV and PepGMV were studied at four levels: symptom expression, gene expression, replication, and movement. In terms of symptom expression, the interaction was shown to be host-dependent because antagonism was observed in pepper, whereas synergism was detected in tobacco and Nicotiana benthamiana. PHV and PepGMV did not generate viable pseudorecombinant viruses; however, their replication is increased during mixed infections. An asymmetric complementation in movement was observed because PHV was able to support the systemic movement of PepGMV A whereas PepGMV did not support the systemic distribution of PHV A. Heterologous transactivation of both coat protein promoters also was detected. Several conclusions can be drawn from these experiments. First, viruses coinfecting the same plant can interact at several levels (replication, movement) and in different manners (synergism, antagonism); some interactions might be host dependent; and natural mixed infections could be a potential source of geminivirus variability by generating viable tripartite combinations that could facilitate recombination events.

Abstract
Yellow vein mosaic disease is the major limitation in the production of bhendi or okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), an important vegetable crop of India. This disease is caused by a complex consisting of the monopartite begomovirus Bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus (BYVMV, family: Geminiviridae) and a small satellite DNA beta component. BYVMV can systemically infect bhendi upon agroinoculation but produces only mild leaf curling in this host. DNA beta induces typical symptoms of bhendi yellow vein mosaic disease (BYVMD) when co-agroinoculated with the begomovirus to bhendi. The DNA beta component associated with BYVMD has a number of features in common with those reported for ageratum yellow vein disease and cotton leaf curl disease. BYVMV represents a new member of the emerging group of monopartite begomoviruses requiring a satellite component for symptom induction.

Abstract
Eighteen samples of begomoviruses isolated from tobacco, tomato and weed species in Yunnan, China were found to be associated with DNAbeta molecules, for which the complete nucleotide sequences were found to contain 1333-1355 nt. The 18 DNAbeta molecules identified consist of three main types, each associated with a different begomovirus species: 72-99 % nucleotide identity was found within one type, but only 39-57 % identity was found between types. All the DNAbeta molecules reported here and elsewhere contain a 115 nt conserved region that has 93-100 % identity with a consensus sequence, and have a common ORF encoding 118 amino acids on the complementary strand (designated C1). Co-agroinoculation of the DNA-A component of Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus tobacco isolate Y10, with its associated DNAbeta (Y10beta), shows this DNAbeta to be involved in symptom induction in tobacco and tomato. The in-frame ATG mutation of C1 of Y10beta caused much milder symptoms as compared with wild Y10beta, indicating a functional role for this ORF. Pairwise nucleotide sequence identity comparisons of DNAbeta molecules and their cognate viral DNA-A molecules indicate that DNAbeta molecules have co-evolved with their cognate helper viruses. Recombination between DNAbeta molecules is documented and a DNAbeta species concept is proposed and discussed.

Abstract
DNA 1 is a single-stranded DNA molecule of approximately 1370 nucleotides. It is associated with monopartite geminiviruses of the genus Begomovirus, which require a DNA beta component for symptomatic infection. The DNA 1 molecule requires the helper begomovirus for movement in plants, but is capable of self-replication. We designed two abutting primer pairs (DNA101/DNA102 and UN101/UN102) to conserved sequences of DNA 1. This allowed polymerase chain reaction-mediated amplification of the full-length molecule from total nucleic acid extracts produced from various host plants from geographically distinct, worldwide locations. These primers are useful both as diagnostic probes and for producing full-length infectious clones for in planta studies.
