This study identifies NOV as a conserved protein involved in plant-virus interactions, showing its role in defense responses and revealing homologs in animals.

This study identifies plant host factors involved in geminiviral DNA replication using proximity labeling and functional assays, revealing the selective repurposing of eukaryotic replication machinery.

This study compares the C4 proteins of two okra-infecting geminiviruses, showing they have distinct localization but similar functions in suppressing RNA silencing and causing developmental issues.

This study identifies an ancient cis-element, the ADC-box, that represses translation of arginine decarboxylase to regulate polyamine biosynthesis and stress responses in plants.

This study shows that geminivirus TYLCV uses alternative splicing to generate Rep isoforms with distinct functions in viral replication and gene regulation.

The paper identifies widespread RNA splicing in a plant DNA virus, showing it enhances viral infectivity by expanding the proteome.
