Abstract:
Geminiviruses are plant pathogens that replicate by a rolling-circle mechanism, analogous to that used by several prokaryotic ssDNA replicons. Recent reports provide important progress in understanding the structure and functioning of replication origin from these viruses. We have used these data to propose models for the initiation of replication in dicot- and monocot-infecting geminiviruses.
