A simple method for cloning the complete begomovirus genome using the bacteriophage phi29 DNA polymerase.
The bacteriophage phiDNA polymerase amplifies circular DNA in a rolling circle amplification mechanism. This characteristic was applied to amplify and clone the complete circular DNA genome of a… Expand

Molecular and biological characterization of a new Brazilian begomovirus, euphorbia yellow mosaic virus (EuYMV), infecting Euphorbia heterophylla plants
To date, no begomovirus has been fully characterized from Euphorbia heterophylla, a widely distributed weed, in Brazil. Here, we show the occurrence of a new begomovirus on E. heterophylla plants… Expand
