expression of the oligomerization domain of the replication-associated protein (rep) of tomato leaf curl new delhi virus interferes with dna accumulation of heterologous geminiviruses.the minimal dna binding domain of the replication-associated protein (rep) of tomato leaf curl new delhi virus was determined by electrophoretic mobility gel shift analysis and co-purification assays. dna binding activity maps to amino acids 1-160 (rep-(1-160)) of the rep protein and overlaps with the protein oligomerization domain. transient expression of rep protein (rep-(1-160)) was found to inhibit homologous viral dna accumulation by 70-86% in tobacco protoplasts and in nicotiana benthamian ...200111342533
the nuclear shuttle protein of tomato leaf curl new delhi virus is a pathogenicity determinant.the role of the movement protein (mp) and nuclear shuttle protein (nsp) in the pathogenicity of tomato leaf curl new delhi virus (tolcndv), a bipartite begomovirus, was studied. both genes were expressed in nicotiana benthamiana, nicotiana tabacum, and lycopersicon esculentum plants with the potato virus x (pvx) expression vector or by stable transformation of gene constructs under the control of the 35s promoter in n. tabacum. no phenotypic changes were observed in any of the three species when ...200515767443
silencing of the av2 gene by antisense rna protects transgenic plants against a bipartite begomovirus.whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses (genus begomovirus) are phytopathogens that cause heavy losses to crops worldwide. efforts to engineer resistance against these viruses are focused mainly on silencing of complementary-sense virus genes involved in virus replication. here we have targeted a virion-sense gene (av2) to develop resistance against tomato leaf curl new delhi virus, a bipartite begomovirus prevalent throughout the indian subcontinent. we show that tobacco plants transformed with an a ...200717239233
a monopartite begomovirus-associated dna beta satellite substitutes for the dna b of a bipartite begomovirus to permit systemic infection.dna beta is a circular single-stranded satellite dna which co-infects with certain monopartite helper begomoviruses to cause economically important diseases, such as cotton leaf curl disease (clcud). dna beta encodes a single protein, betac1. tomato leaf curl new delhi virus (tolcndv) is a bipartite begomovirus in which both dna a and dna b are required for systemic infection. inoculation of tomato plants with tolcndv dna a alone induced local but not systemic infection, whereas co-inoculation w ...200717872543
the hypersensitive response to tomato leaf curl new delhi virus nuclear shuttle protein is inhibited by transcriptional activator protein.the hypersensitive response (hr) is a common feature of plant disease resistance reactions and a type of programmed cell death (pcd). many pathogens are able to modulate pathways involved in cell death. in contrast to animal viruses, inhibitors of pcd activity have not been identified for plant-infecting viruses. previously, we have reported that the nuclear shuttle protein (nsp) of tomato leaf curl new delhi virus (tolcndv) induces an hr in nicotiana tabacum and lycopersicon esculentum plants w ...200717990965
