Plant pathogenic geminiviruses have been proliferating worldwide and have, therefore, attracted considerable scientific interest during the past three decades. Current knowledge concerning their virion and genome structure, their molecular biology of replication, recombination, transcription, and silencing, as well as their transport through plants and dynamic competition with host responses are summarized. The topics are chosen to provide a comprehensive introduction for animal virologists, emphasizing similarities and differences to the closest functional relatives, polyomaviruses and circoviruses.
植物病原双生病毒已在全球范围内迅速传播，因此在过去三十年中引起了相当大的科学关注。本文总结了关于它们的病毒粒子和基因组结构、复制、重组、转录和沉默的分子生物学，以及它们在植物中的传播和与宿主反应的动态竞争的现有知识。选择这些主题是为了给动物病毒学家提供一个全面的介绍，强调与最密切的功能相关病毒——多瘤病毒和圆环病毒的异同。
