Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) represents a serious threat to cassava, a major root crop
for more than 300 million Africans. CMD is caused by single-stranded DNA begomoviruses …

The ability of begomoviruses to evolve rapidly threatens many crops and underscores the
importance of detecting these viruses quickly and to understand their genome diversity. This …

Paradormancy, also known as summer dormancy, is the temporary dormancy which
precedes winter or endodormancy in temperate woody plants. Apical dominance, the control …

Asymmetric divisions are key to regulating the number and patterning of stomata in Arabidopsis
thaliana (L.) Heynh. Many formative asymmetric divisions take place in neighbor cells (…

We deeply sequenced two pairs of widely used infectious clones (4 plasmids) of the bipartite
begomoviruses African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic …

It has been generally observed that leaf removal alters the pattern of episodic shoot growth
in certain species in such ways that suggest some type of foliar control. In the present study, …

We present an optimized protocol for enhanced amplification and enrichment of viral DNA
for Next Generation Sequencing of begomovirus genomes. The rapid ability of these viruses …

Plant cells undergo two types of cell cycles–the mitotic cycle in which DNA replication is
coupled to mitosis, and the endocycle in which DNA replication occurs in the absence of cell …

The CD28 costimulatory receptor is a critical regulator of T cell function, making it an
attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. CTLA4Ig, now …
