Co-infection and recombination-driven emergence of begomovirus complex causing mosaic disease in muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMuskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important crop, and mosaic disease is a major constraint to its cultivation in India. The disease is caused by begomoviruses (Family: Geminiviridae) transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). METHODS AND
resultsIn 2023, symptomatic muskmelon samples were collected from fields in the Mirzapur region of Uttar Pradesh, India. PCR and rolling circle amplification were performed, followed by cloning and sequencing. This identified mixed infections involving three DNA-A and two DNA-B components. Two bipartite begomoviruses, Begomovirus solanumdelhiense (ToLCNDV) and Begomovirus solanumpalampurense (ToLCPalV), were detected. In addition, a monopartite begomovirus, Begomovirus caricae (PaLCuV), was identified for the first time in muskmelon. Phylogenetic and recombination analyses confirmed inter- and intra-species recombination events, highlighting the evolutionary dynamics of these viruses.
conclusionAlthough monopartite begomoviruses have been reported from muskmelon elsewhere, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of PaLCuV infecting muskmelon in India. Our findings reveal a begomoviral complex involving both bipartite and monopartite viruses, thereby underscoring the importance of recombination-driven emergence in cucurbit crops.
