The sugarcane infecting streak viruses (SISVs) are mastreviruses (Family Geminiviridae) belonging to a group of "African streak viruses" (AfSVs) that includes the economically devastating Maize streak virus (MSV). Although there are three currently described SISV species (Sugarcane streak virus [SSV], Sugarcane streak Egypt virus [SSEV] and Sugarcane streak Réunion virus [SSRV]), only one strain variant has been fully sequenced for each of these species and as a result very little is known about the diversity and evolutionary origins of the SCISVs. Here we present annotated full genome sequences of four new SISV isolates, including a new strain of both SSRV and SSV, and one potentially new SISV species, sampled from wild grasses in La Réunion and Zimbabwe. For the first time, we report the finding of SSRV isolates in Zimbabwe and SSV isolates on the island of La Réunion. Phylogenetic and recombination analyses indicate continent-wide SSRV strain diversity and that our isolate potentially representing a new SISV species is a recombinant.

Background: Sugarcane is host of many viral pathogens that affects its growth and productivity. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) is comprehensive diagnostic platform that permit the precise detection of viral pathogens to resolve the disease epidemiology of the crop, thus providing the phytosanitary status of plants. The current work was designed to comprehend the virome profiling of sugarcane belonging to five varieties collected from the major crop producing states in India.

Promoters are one of the most important components for many gene-based research as they can fine-tune precise gene expression. Many unique plant promoters have been characterized, but strong promoters with dual expression in both monocot and dicot systems are still lacking. In this study, we attempted to make such a promoter by combining specific domains from monocot-infecting pararetroviral-based promoters sugarcane bacilliform virus (SCBV) and banana streak virus (BSV) to a strong dicot-infecting pararetroviral-based promoter mirabilis mosaic virus (MMV).

Introduction: Remorins (REMs) are plant-specific membrane-associated proteins that play important roles in plant-pathogen interactions and environmental adaptations. Group I REMs are extensively involved in virus infection. However, little is known about the gene family in sugarcane ( spp.

Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) is one of the major pathogens of sugarcane in the world. Molecular studies and disease management of SCSMV are hindered by the lack of efficient infectious clones. In this study, we successfully constructed Agrobacterium infiltration based infectious clone of SCSMV with different variants.

Cassava ( Crantz) is a food and industrial storage root crop with substantial potential to contribute to managing risk associated with climate change due to its inherent resilience and in providing a biodegradable option in manufacturing. In Africa, cassava production is challenged by two viral diseases, cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease. Here we detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with CBSD in a biparental mapping population of a Tanzanian landrace, Nachinyaya and AR37-80, phenotyped in two locations over three years.
