Geminiviridae GEMINIVIRIDAE INTRODUCTION Geminiviridae is a family of plant viruses. There are currently 485 species in this family, divided among 9 genera. Diseases associated with this family include: bright yellow mosaic, yellow mosaic, yellow mottle, leaf curling, stunting, streaks, and reduced yields. They have single-stranded circular DNA genomes encoding genes that diverge in both directions from a virion strand origin of replication (i.e. geminivirus genomes are ambisense). According to the Baltimore classification they are considered class II viruses. It is the largest known family of single stranded DNA viruses. Higher classification: Virus Group II Rank: Family Order: Geplafuvirales Phylum: Cressdnaviricota Class: Repensiviricetes GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The worldwide expansion of agriculture has also resulted in the emergence and spread of numerous diseases and insect pests. Of particular importance are insect- transmitted viruses, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Geminiviruses are insect-transmitted viruses that have emerged, over the past 20 years, as the largest group of plant viruses (in terms of number of species) and one of the most economically important. These viruses cause extremely damaging diseases in a wide range of crops throughout the world, including African cassava mosaic in Africa; bean golden mosaic (BGM) in the Americas; beet curly top in North America and the Middle East; cotton leaf curl in Asia; maize streak in Africa; and tomato yellow leaf curl in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe. In Brazil, BGM and tomato diseases caused by a complex of geminiviruses are important diseases that lead to substantial yield losses in common beans and fresh market and processing tomato production. STRUCTURE Geminiviruses comprise a biologically and genetically diverse family (Geminiviridae) of viruses that share the following characteristics: a twinned quasi-icosahedral virus particle (virion) that measures ~18 X 30 nanometers and a small circular single-stranded DNA genome of ~2.9-5.2 kilobases (kb). The family name is derived from the distinctive twinned virions (the Latin word gemini means twin). TRANMISSION Based upon genome structure, phylogenetic relationships, insect vector and host range, seven genera have been recognized: Begomovirus, Mastrevirus, Curtovirus, Topocuvirus,Becurtovirus, Turncurtovirus and Eragrovirus . In nature, geminiviruses are transmitted by phloem-feeding insects, including various species of leafhoppers, a treehopper and whiteflies of the species Bemisia tabaci. Gemini viruses are not transmitted through seeds, whereas many are graft- transmissible and some are mechanically (sap) transmissible. Plants infected with geminiviruses show a wide range of symptoms including stunting; distorted growth; and leaf streaking and striations in monocotyledoenous plants and leaf crumpling, curling, distortion, golden-light green-yellow mosaic/mottle, interveinal yellowing, yellow spots, and vein swelling, purpling, and yellowing in dicotyledonous plants. .

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.

  • Multiple Origins of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Single-Stranded DNA Viruses from Bacterial and Archaeal Plasmids
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11433-0 OPEN Multiple origins of prokaryotic and eukaryotic single-stranded DNA viruses from bacterial and archaeal plasmids Darius Kazlauskas 1, Arvind Varsani 2,3, Eugene V.

In particular, the circular, Rep-encoding ssDNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses show high diversity and abundance 1234567890():,; in various habitats. By combining sequence similarity network and phylogenetic analyses of the replication proteins (Rep) belonging to the HUH endonuclease superfamily, we show that the replication machinery of the CRESS-DNA viruses evolved, on three independent occa- sions, from the Reps of bacterial rolling circle-replicating plasmids. The CRESS-DNA viruses emerged via recombination between such plasmids and cDNA copies of capsid genes of eukaryotic positive-sense RNA viruses. Similarly, the rep genes of prokaryotic DNA viruses appear to have evolved from HUH endonuclease genes of various bacterial and archaeal plasmids. Our findings also suggest that eukaryotic polyomaviruses and papillomaviruses with dsDNA genomes have evolved via parvoviruses from CRESS-DNA viruses. Collectively, our results shed light on the complex evolutionary history of a major class of viruses revealing its polyphyletic origins. 1 Institute of Biotechnology, Life Sciences Center, Vilnius University, Saulėtekio av. 7, Vilnius 10257, Lithuania. 2 The Biodesign Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics, School of Life Sciences, Center for Evolution and Medicine, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA. 3 Structural Biology Research Unit, Department of Integrative Biomedical Sciences, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, 7700 Cape Town, South Africa.

This phe- 2 nomenon is found in all taxonomic domains, but is particularly common in viruses, where it may 3 increase the information content of compact genomes or influence the creation of new genes. Here 4 we report a global comparative study of overlapping reading frames (OvRFs) of 12,609 virus refer- 5 ence genomes in the NCBI database. We retrieved metadata associated with all annotated reading 6 frames in each genome record to calculate the number, length, and frameshift of OvRFs. Our re- 7 sults show that while the number of OvRFs increases with genome length, they tend to be shorter 8 in longer genomes. The majority of overlaps involve +2 frameshifts, predominantly found in ds- 9 DNA viruses. However, the longest overlaps involve no shift in reading frame (+0), increasing 10 the selective burden of the same nucleotide positions within codons, instead of exposing additional 11 sites to purifying selection.

Novel methods of cassava disease detection are needed to support improved control which will prevent this crisis. Image recognition offers both a cost effective and scalable technology for disease detection. New transfer learning methods offer an avenue for this technology to be easily deployed on mobile devices. Using a dataset of cassava disease images taken in the field in Tanzania, we applied transfer learning to train a deep convolutional neural network to identify three diseases and two types of pest damage (or lack thereof). The best trained model accuracies were 98% for brown leaf spot (BLS), 96% for red mite damage (RMD), 95% for green mite damage (GMD), 98% for cassava brown streak disease (CBSD), and 96% for cassava mosaic disease (CMD). The best model achieved an overall accuracy of 93% for data not used in the training process.

  • The Influence of Secondary Structure, Selection and Recombination On
    Cloete et al. Virology Journal 2014, 11:166 http://www.virologyj.com/content/11/1/166 RESEARCH Open Access The influence of secondary structure, selection and recombination on rubella virus nucleotide substitution rate estimates Leendert J Cloete1†, Emil P Tanov1†, Brejnev M Muhire2, Darren P Martin2 and Gordon W Harkins1*† Abstract Background: Annually, rubella virus (RV) still causes severe congenital defects in around 100 000 children globally. An attempt to eradicate RV is currently underway and analytical tools to monitor the global decline of the last remaining RV lineages will be useful for assessing the effectiveness of this endeavour. RV evolves rapidly enough that much of this information might be inferable from RV genomic sequence data. Methods: Using BEASTv1.8.0, we analysed publically available RV sequence data to estimate genome-wide and gene-specific nucleotide substitution rates to test whether current estimates of RV substitution rates are representative of the entire RV genome. We specifically accounted for possible confounders of nucleotide substitution rate estimates, such as temporally biased sampling, sporadic recombination, and natural selection favouring either increased or decreased genetic diversity (estimated by the PARRIS and FUBAR methods), at nucleotide sites within the genomic secondary structures (predicted by the NASP method). Results: We determine that RV nucleotide substitution rates range from 1.19 × 10-3 substitutions/site/year in the E1 region to 7.52 × 10-4 substitutions/site/year in the P150 region. We find that differences between substitution rate estimates in different RV genome regions are largely attributable to temporal sampling biases such that datasets containing higher proportions of recently sampled sequences, will tend to have inflated estimates of mean substitution rates.

Viral pathogens are of particular concern due to their difficulty to control once established. A comprehensive diagnostic platform that accurately detects both known and unknown virus species, as well as unreported variants, is playing a pivotal role across plant germplasm quarantine programs.
