Here, we describe a tripartite circular single-stranded (ss) DNA mycovirus, named Fusarium graminearum gemytripvirus 1 (FgGMTV1). The genome of FgGMTV1 comprises three circular ssDNA segments (DNA-A, DNA-B, and DNA-C). Sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses showed that FgGMTV1 is nested within the family Genomoviridae. We also constructed the first infectious DNA clones of a DNA mycovirus. Our results show that DNA-A and DNA-B are mutually interdependent for their replication and are associated with severely reduced colony growth and hypovirulence. DNA-C relies on DNA-A and DNA-B for replication and is necessary for the recovery of abnormal fungal phenotypes. DNA-C also enhances the accumulation of viral DNA in infected fungi and permits stable colonization and easy transmission via conidia. This is the first multipartite DNA virus isolated from a fungus. Our phylogenetic analyses also suggest that the multipartite genome of FgGMTV1 may have evolved from a monopartite genome of an ancient genomovirus.

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).

Begomoviruses are a major threat to cassava production in Africa. Indeed, during the 1990s, the emergence of a recombinant begomovirus (East African cassava mosaic virus-Uganda, EACMV-Ug) resulted in crop devastation and severe famine in Uganda. In 2023, during a pre-survey of cassava farms at Forécariah, South-West Guinea, 22 samples showing peculiar cassava mosaic disease (CMD) symptoms were collected, and subsequent laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of EACMV-Ug in the samples.

Article Synopsis
- Rhynchosia minima plants from the Indian Institute of Pulses Research exhibited yellow mosaic symptoms, suspected to be caused by begomoviruses, primarily identified as mungbean yellow mosaic India virus in four samples tested via PCR.
- One plant sample (Rhm2) tested negative for this virus but later analyses revealed it contained two DNA molecules associated with the rhynchosia yellow mosaic virus (RhYMV), which were closely related to known isolates with significant nucleotide similarities.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicated RhYMV-IN-Knp's lineage and highlighted two recombination events, suggesting a risk of infection to cultivated legumes, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring, particularly in pigeonpea

Unlabelled: Begomoviruses, member of the family, are responsible for significant economic losses in crops worldwide. Chilli leaf curl India virus (ChiLCINV) is a well-known begomovirus that causes leaf curl disease, primarily affecting plants in the family. In this study, sample from a Jamaica cherry () tree showing typical begomovirus symptoms of mosaic and leaf curling was collected from Nagavara village in the Bengaluru Rural district of Karnataka State, India.
