Ageratum yellow vein disease is caused by the whitefly-transmitted monopartite begomovirus Ageratum yellow vein virus and a DNA satellite component. Naturally occurring symptomatic plants also contain an autonomously replicating nanovirus-like DNA 1 component that relies on the begomovirus and DNA for systemic spread and whitefly transmission but is not required for maintenance of the disease. Here, we show that systemic movement of DNA 1 occurs in Nicotiana benthamiana when co-inoculated with the bipartite begomovirus Tomato golden mosaic virus and the curtovirus Beet curly top virus (BCTV), but not with the mastrevirus Bean yellow dwarf virus. BCTV also mediates the systemic movement of DNA 1 in sugar beet, and the nanovirus-like component is transmitted between plants by the BCTV leafhopper vector Circulifer tenellus. We also describe a second nanovirus-like component, referred to as DNA 2, that has only 47% nucleotide sequence identity with DNA 1. The diversity and adaptation of nanovirus components are discussed.
