- Abstract
A circular single stranded satellite, called as alphasatellite (initially identified as DNA-1), was characterised and confirmed to be associated with the Geminivirus begomovirus-betasatellite complexes. Alphasatellites are single stranded DNA (ssDNA) components, frequently accompanying with monopartite begomovirus or some time with bipartite begomovirus and/or betasatellite complex. The genome of alphasatellite DNAs are nearly half size of its helper virus genome and have no similarity with it. Furthermore, their function in begomovirus-betasatellite complex is still unclear. Recent advances in application of molecular tools helped in finding new viruses and allied satellite components that further help in advancing our understanding of this satellite DNA and this evolution.
