| a bemisia tabaci midgut protein interacts with begomoviruses and plays a role in virus transmission. | begomoviruses are a major group of plant viruses, transmitted exclusively by bemisia tabaci (gennadius) in a persistent circulative non-propagative manner. the information regarding molecular and cellular basis underlying begomovirus - whitefly interaction is very scarce. evidences have suggested that the insect gut possesses some crucial protein receptors that allow specific entry of virus into the insect haemolymph. we have performed yeast two hybrid gut cdna expression library screening again ... | 2016 | 26488331 |
| rnai-mediated resistance against cotton leaf curl disease in elite indian cotton (gossypium hirsutum) cultivar narasimha. | cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) is caused by several distinct begomovirus species in association with disease-specific betasatellite essential for induction of disease symptoms. clcud is a serious threat for the cultivation of cotton (gossypium sp.) and several species in the family malvaceae. in this study, rnai-based approach was applied to generate transgenic cotton (gossypium hirsutum) plants resistant to cotton leaf curl rajasthan virus (clcurv). an intron hairpin (ihp) rnai construct capa ... | 2016 | 27028623 |
| genetic variability of begomoviruses associated with cotton leaf curl disease originating from india. | cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) causing viruses belong to the begomovirus genus of the family geminiviridae. most begomoviruses are bipartite with two molecules of circular single stranded dna (a and b) encapsidated in icosahedral geminate particles. however, the begomoviruses associated with clcud have dna-beta instead of dna-b. in this communication we report the complete genomic sequence of dna-a component of two clcud-causing begomoviruses, cotton leaf curl kokhran virus-dabawali (clcukv-da ... | 2004 | 15669112 |
