Here, we describe for the first time the complete genome sequence of a new bipartite begomovirus in Madagascar isolated from the weed Asystasia gangetica (Acanthaceae), for which we propose the tentative name asystasia mosaic Madagascar virus (AMMGV). DNA-A and -B nucleotide sequences of AMMGV were only distantly related to known begomovirus sequence and shared highest nucleotide sequence identity of 72.9 % (DNA-A) and 66.9 % (DNA-B) with a recently described bipartite begomovirus infecting Asystasia sp. in West Africa. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that this novel virus from Madagascar belongs to a new lineage of Old World bipartite begomoviruses.

The tomato gene Ty-6, encoding DNA polymerase delta subunit 1, confers broad resistance to Geminiviruses.

Plant Breeding, Wageningen University and Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands.
The tomato Ty-6 gene conferring resistance against begomoviruses has been cloned and shown to be a variant of DNA polymerase delta subunit 1. Ty-6 is a major resistance gene of tomato that provides resistance against monopartite and bipartite begomoviruses. The locus was previously mapped on chromosome 10, and in this study, we fine-mapped Ty-6 to a region of 47 kb, including four annotated candidate genes.

During the field visits in growing season of 2022 in Dammam Region of Saudi Arabia, begomovirus-like symptoms including leaf curling, leaf cupping, leaf distortion, vein thickening and reduced leaf size were observed in squash and cucumber fields. Twenty-five samples were collected from each crop and PCR amplification was done using general diagnostic begomovirus primers (AC-1048/AV-494 and Begomo I/Begomo II). The obtained results showed desired sized amplified DNA fragments (550 bp and 1.

(tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus, ToLCNDV), is member of the genus , family , is a prolific bipartite whitefly transmitted begomovirus in the Indian sub-continent has a wide host range, including solanaceous, cucurbitaceous and other plants. Recently, dsRNA-mediated non-transgenic approaches have been promising in managing plant viruses. Such an approach could be effective if the pathogenicity determinants of a virus are targeted.

In India, plants from the non-cultivated, horticultural, and agricultural categories are commonly infected with various begomoviruses, most of which produce yellow mosaic, bright yellow mosaic, or curling symptoms on leaves. In this study, the complete genome of a new bipartite begomovirus causing yellow mosaic disease (YMD) in butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) was characterized using rolling-circle amplification followed by restriction digestion, cloning, and sequencing to obtain the full-length DNA-A (2727 nt) and DNA-B (2648 nt) sequences.

Sida mottle virus (SiMoV) and Sida micrantha mosaic virus (SiMMV) are major Brazilian begomoviruses (). However, the range of DNA-A identity of isolates of these viruses (81-100%) is not in agreement with the current criteria for species demarcation (<91%). To clarify this putative classification problem, we performed a comprehensive set of molecular analyses with all 53 publicly available isolates (with complete DNA-A genomes) designated as either SiMoV or SiMMV (including novel isolates obtained herein from nationwide metagenomics-based studies).
