On the alleged origin of geminiviruses from extrachromosomal DNAs of phytoplasmas

BACKGROUND: Several phytoplasmas, wall-less phloem limited plant pathogenic bacteria, have been shown to contain extrachromosomal DNA (EcDNA) molecules encoding a replication associated protein (Rep) similar to that of geminiviruses, a major group of single stranded (ss) DNA plant viruses. On the ba...
