Apparently, #begomoviruses, like #TYLCV, can replicate in one nucleus...that might have some implications. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Dynamic subcellular distribution of begomoviral nuclear shuttle and movement proteins The Abutilon mosaic virus (AbMV) encodes a nuclear shuttle protein (NSP), and a movement protein (MP) which cooperatively accomplish viral DNA transpo…

How do #begomoviruses like #AbM move within plants? Recent findings reveal that the Nuclear Shuttle Protein (NSP) and Movement Protein (MP)—encoded by DNA B—play distinct but cooperative roles in viral transport. #PlantVirology
