The common #daisy, #Bellis #perennis (#Asteraceae), was originally native to the #Mediterranean region, Western Asia, and North Africa. It arrived in Central Europe through early human activity and is therefore named an #archaeophyte. A. Rathore et al. (2024) identified two #begomoviruses from it for the first time using PCR and full-length DNA analysis.

Whitefly-Transmitted Viruses of Cucurbits in the Southern United States
Cucurbits are economically important crops that are widely cultivated in many parts of the world, including the southern US. In recent years, higher temperatures have favored the rapid build-up of whiteflies in the fall-grown cucurbits in this region. As a result, whitefly-transmitted viruses (WTVs) have severely impacted the marketable yield of cucurbits. In this review, we discuss three major groups of WTVs negatively impacting cucurbit cultivation in the southern US, including begomoviruses, criniviruses, and ipomoviruses. Here, we discuss the available information on the biology, epidemiology and advances made toward detecting and managing these viruses, including sources of resistance and cultural practices.
