First Report of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid in Costa Rica
During 1997 to 1998, symptoms of leaf roll, dwarfism, chlorosis, and occasional leaf necrosis were observed on Solanum tuberosum in several plots in Cartago, the principal potato-production region of Costa Rica. Because of the known association between potato leafroll virus (PLRV) and viroids (1) and previous reports of PLRV in Costa Rica, the ...

RNAi-Mediated Down-Regulation of Dicer-Like 2 and 4 Changes the Response of 'Moneymaker' Tomato to Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Infection from Tolerance to Lethal Systemic Necrosis, Accompanied by Up-Regulation of miR398, 398a-3p and Production of Excessive Amount of Reactive Oxygen Species. [PDF]
To examine the role of RNA silencing in plant defenses against viroids, a Dicer-like 2 and 4 (DCL2&4)–double knockdown transgenic tomato plant line, 72E, was created.

Evolutionarily New Solanaceous DCL2 Family Members Acquire Functions in Tomato. [PDF]
This work demonstrated the expansion of functional Dicer‐like 2 gene family members in the Solanaceae family. ABSTRACT RNA silencing is one of the major defence activities against viral pathogens in plants. Silencing signals are initiated by Dicer‐like proteins (DCLs) to generate viral‐derived small RNAs (sRNAs).
