Abstract
Geminiviruses mainly infect terminally differentiated tissues and cells in plants. They need to re-programme host cellular machinery for DNA replication. This process is thought to be mediated by inactivation of cell-cycle repressor proteins and by induction of host DNA synthesis protein expression through actions of the geminviral replication initiator protein (Rep).
