Leaf curl disease of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) in India has been found to be associated with begomoviruses and betasatellites. Here, we report the molecular characterization and phylogenetic relationship of the nine isolates of betasatellites obtained from three geographical locations in India. The betasatellites coming from northern and eastern region of India shared 84.3% nucleotide sequence identity and formed two sub-clusters within the main cluster containing different isolates of Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMB) isolated in Indian subcontinent. Betasatellites coming from the southern part of India were identified as the isolates of Tomato leaf curl Joydebpur betasatellite and shared 45.2 and 44.9% sequences identity with their counterparts coming from the eastern and northern India, respectively. The present study represents the first report about the association of the leaf curl disease of kenaf with the betasatellites infecting both malvaceous and non-malvaceous crops in India.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a significant threat to tomato cultivation globally, transmitted exclusively by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. While previous research suggests that the TYLCV C2 protein plays a role in fostering mutualistic interactions between the virus and its insect vectors, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we show that the C2 protein interferes with the salicylic acid (SA) defence pathway by disrupting TCP7-like transcription factor-mediated regulation of TGA2 expression.

Background: Autophagy plays an important role against pathogen infections in both insects and plants. Insect vectors employ autophagy as an intrinsic antiviral defense mechanism against viral infections, whereas viruses can exploit autophagy to enhance their transmission via insect vectors. The Cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMuV) is transmitted by the AsiaII7 cryptic species of Bemisia tabaci, however, the role of autophagy is involved in regulating the transmission of this virus remains unclear.

A comprehensive dataset on lemon leaf disease can surely bring a lot of potentials into the development of agricultural research and the improvement of disease management strategies. This dataset was developed from 1354 raw images taken with professional agricultural specialist guidance from July to September 2024 in Charpolisha, Jamalpur, and further enhanced with augmented techniques, adding 9000 images. The augmentation process involves a set of techniques-flipping, rotation, zooming, shifting, adding noise, shearing, and brightening-to increase variety for different lemon leaf condition representations.
