Bean dwarf mosaic geminivirus (BDMV) was shown to have a bipartite genome (DNA-A and DNA-B) from restriction map and sequence data comparisons of cloned DNAs. The nucleotide sequences of the infectious clones of DNA-A and DNA-B were determined. Computer analyses showed that the bipartite genome of BDMV resembles that of other whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses. The DNA-A (2,615 nt) and DNA-B (2,575 nt) have little sequence homology other than that within the common region []
