Molecular Genetics of Tomato Golden Mosaic Virus Replication: Progress Toward Defining Gene Functions, Transcription Units and the Origin of DNA Replication

  • Conference paper
Viral Genes and Plant Pathogenesis

Abstract

The geminiviruses are a unique group of infectious agents that replicate and cause disease in a wide variety of plant species. Because of their small DNA genomes and their ability to multiply to high copy number, these viruses have the potential to serve as important model systems for the processes of transcription and DNA replication in their hosts. Geminiviruses also have attracted considerable attention due to their potential to be modified for use as amplifiable vectors for stable plant transformation and transient expression assays. As a result, a great deal of effort has been directed toward understanding the molecular biology of these pathogens, and in the past few years considerable progress has been made with several group members. Many excellent reviews documenting this progress are available (Stanley, 1985; Harrison, 1985; Davies et al., 1987; Lazarowitz, 1987; Davies and Stanley, 1989). As this paper is based primarily on recent work done in this laboratory and on earlier work done in collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Stephen G. Rogers, it will focus mainly on tomato golden mosaic virus and other bipartite geminiviruses. However, pertinent information about other group members will be discussed where appropriate.
