Inducible Resistance to Maize Streak Virus
Maize streak virus (MSV), which causes maize streak disease (MSD), is the major viral pathogenic constraint on maize production in Africa. Type member of the Mastrevirus genus in the family Geminiviridae, MSV has a 2.7 kb, single-stranded circular DNA genome encoding a coat protein, movement protein, and the two replication-associated proteins Rep and RepA. While we have previously developed MS...
متن کاملReconstructing the history of Maize streak virus
64 65 Maize streak virus (MSV) strain A, the causal agent of Maize streak disease is 66 today one of the most serious biotic threats to African food security. Determining 67 where MSV-A originated and how it spread trans-continentally could yield 68 valuable insights into its historical emergence as a crop pathogen. Similarly, 69 determining where the major extant MSV-A lineages arose could ide...
متن کاملStructure of the Maize streak virus geminate particle.
The Geminiviridae is an extensive family of plant viruses responsible for economically devastating diseases in crops worldwide. Geminiviruses package circular, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes. The characteristic twinned or "geminate" particles, which consist of two joined, incomplete T = 1 icosahedra, are unique among viruses. We have determined the first structure of a geminivirus particle...
متن کاملReplicative intermediates of maize streak virus found during leaf development.
Geminiviruses of the genera Begomovirus and Curtovirus utilize three replication modes: complementary-strand replication (CSR), rolling-circle replication (RCR) and recombination-dependent replication (RDR). Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, we now show for the first time that maize streak virus (MSV), the type member of the most divergent geminivirus genus, Mastrevirus, does the same....
