Geminiviruses are plant pathogens that replicate by a rolling-circle mechanism, analogous to that used by several prokaryotic ssDNA replicons. Recent reports provide important progress in understanding the structure and functioning of replication origin from these viruses. We have used these data to propose models for the initiation of replication in dicot- and monocot-infecting geminiviruses.
双生病毒是通过滚环机制进行复制的植物病原体，类似于几种原核单链DNA复制子所使用的机制。最近的报告在理解这些病毒复制起点的结构和功能方面取得了重要进展。我们利用这些数据提出了双子叶植物和单子叶植物感染双生病毒复制起始的模型。
