Many geminivirus C4 proteins induce severe developmental abnormalities in plants.We previously demon- strated that Tomato leaf curl Yunnan virus (TLCYnV)C4 induces plant developmental abnormalities at least partically...
Dear Editor, Rice (Oryza sativa) is the staple food for more than half of the world's population. Technologies enabling precise and efficient DNA knock-in or replacement, hereinafter referred to as KI, have the pot...
The βC1 protein encoded by the Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus-associated betasatellite functions as a pathogenicity determinant. To better understand the molecular basis whereby βC1 functions in pathogenicity, ...
