| the merging of two dynasties-identification of an african cotton leaf curl disease-associated begomovirus with cotton in pakistan. | cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) is a severe disease of cotton that occurs in africa and pakistan/northwestern india. the disease is caused by begomoviruses in association with specific betasatellites that differ between africa and asia. during survey of symptomatic cotton in sindh (southern pakistan) cotton leaf curl gezira virus (clcugv), the begomovirus associated with clcud in africa, was identified. however, the cognate african betasatellite (cotton leaf curl gezira betasatellite) was not f ... | 2011 | 21637815 |
| regional changes in the sequence of cotton leaf curl multan betasatellite. | cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) in pakistan and northwestern india is caused by monopartite begomoviruses in association with an essential, disease-specific satellite, cotton leaf curl multan betasatellite (clcumb). following a recent upsurge in clcud problems in sindh province (southern pakistan), sequences of clones of clcumb were obtained from sindh and punjab province (central pakistan), where clcud has been a problem since the mid-1980s. the sequences were compared to all sequences of clcu ... | 2014 | 24859342 |
| frequent occurrence of tomato leaf curl new delhi virus in cotton leaf curl disease affected cotton in pakistan. | cotton leaf curl disease (clcud) is the major biotic constraint to cotton production on the indian subcontinent, and is caused by monopartite begomoviruses accompanied by a specific dna satellite, cotton leaf curl multan betasatellite (clcumb). since the breakdown of resistance against clcud in 2001/2002, only one virus, the "burewala" strain of cotton leaf curl kokhran virus (clcukov-bur), and a recombinant form of clcumb have consistently been identified in cotton across the major cotton growi ... | 2016 | 27213535 |
