Transcriptome and small RNAome profiling uncovers how a recombinant begomovirus evades RDRγ-mediated silencing of viral genes and outcompetes its parental virus in mixed infection.
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV, genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) causes severe disease of cultivated tomatoes. Geminiviruses replicate circular single-stranded genomic DNA via rolling-circle and recombination-dependent mechanisms, frequently generating recombinants in mixed infections....
