Abstract
Mastreviruses (family Geminiviridae) are generally known to infect monocotyledon plants and are transmitted by leafhopper. Compared to begomoviruses, number of mastreviruses characterized are far less in India. Only two mastreviruses, chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus infecting dicot plant and wheat dwarf India virus (WDIV) infecting wheat have recently been identified in India. Both the viruses have been characterised at genomic level and infectivity of the cloned DNAs has been demonstrated. Interestingly, WDIV is associated with two alphasatellites and one betasatellite. The satellites contribute to viral pathogenicity and suppress the RNA silencing of the host.
