Viroid Replication, Movement, and the Host Factors Involved
Viroids represent distinctive infectious agents composed solely of short, single-stranded, circular RNA molecules. In contrast to viruses, viroids do not encode for proteins and lack a protective coat protein.

3' RNA ligase mediated rapid amplification of cDNA ends for validating viroid induced cleavage at the 3' extremity of the host mRNA [PDF]
: 5′ RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of cDNA ends (5′ RLM-RACE) is a widely-accepted method for the validation of direct cleavage of a target gene by a microRNA (miRNA) and viroid-derived small RNA (vd-sRNA).

Evidence for a Single Infectious Species of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid
Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) has been separated into two electrophoretic species on polyacrylamide gels containing 8 M urea at 60 degrees. Only the slower-migrating electrophoretic form was infectious and is presumably the circular form of the molecule.

Citrus exocortis viroid causes ribosomal stress in tomato plants [PDF]
[EN] Viroids are naked RNAs that do not code for any known protein and yet are able to infect plants causing severe diseases. Because of their RNA nature, many studies have focused on the involvement of viroids in RNA-mediated gene silencing as being ...

Evaluation of disinfectants to prevent mechanical transmission of viruses and a viroid in greenhouse tomato production [PDF]
Background In recent years, a number of serious disease outbreaks caused by viruses and viroids on greenhouse tomatoes in North America have resulted in significant economic losses to growers.
