Insights Into Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Quasi-Species From Infection to Disease [PDF]
Viroids are non-coding RNA plant pathogens that are characterized by their possession of a high mutation level. Although the sequence heterogeneity in viroid infected plants is well understood, shifts in viroid population dynamics due to mutations over ...

Transmission of potato spindle tuber viroid between Phytophthora infestans and host plants [PDF]
Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is a naked, circular, single-stranded RNA (356–363 nucleotides in length) which lacks any protein-coding sequences.

The Secondary Structure of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Determines Its Infectivity in Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]
The function of RNAs is determined by their structure. However, studying the relationship between RNA structure and function often requires altering RNA sequences to modify the structures, which leads to the neglect of the importance of RNA sequences ...

Resistance of the CRISPR-Cas13a Gene-Editing System to Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Infection in Tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]
Gene-editing technology, specifically the CRISPR-Cas13a system, has shown promise in breeding plants resistant to RNA viruses. This system targets RNA and, theoretically, can also combat RNA-based viroids.

RNA three-dimensional structure drives the sequence organization of potato spindle tuber viroid quasispecies. [PDF]
RNA viruses and viroids exist and evolve as quasispecies due to error-prone replication. Quasispecies consist of a few dominant master sequences alongside numerous variants that contribute to genetic diversity.

Polyclonal antibodies against potato spindle tuber viroid RNA
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) can act as a hapten in the direct immunization of animals. For antigen synthesis, 65 mg of viroid RNA were obtained by in vitro transcription of the recombinant DNA. We received a reasonable immune response in mice and rabbits with

Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid RNA-Templated Transcription: Factors and Regulation [PDF]
Viroids are circular noncoding RNAs that infect plants. Without encoding any protein, these noncoding RNAs contain the necessary genetic information for propagation in hosts. Nuclear-replicating viroids employ DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II (Pol II) for
