PSTVd infection in Nicotiana benthamiana plants has a minor yet detectable effect on CG methylation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Viroids are small circular RNAs infecting a wide range of plants. They do not code for any protein or peptide and therefore rely on their structure for their biological cycle.

Xanthohumol and echinocystic acid induces PSTVd tolerance in tomato [PDF]
Plant DirectTomato is a popular vegetable worldwide; its production is highly threatened by infection with the potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). We obtained the full‐length genome sequence of previously conserved PSTVd and inoculated it on four genotypes of semi ...

Insight on Genes Affecting Tuber Development in Potato upon Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) Infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) is a natural host of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) which can cause characteristic symptoms on developing plants including stunting phenotype and distortion of leaves and tubers.

Chloroplast clustering around the nucleus induced by OMP24 overexpression unexpectedly promoted PSTVd infection in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]
Mol Plant Pathol, 2023 Chloroplast clustering around the nucleus is a well‐known mechanism that occurs in response to various biotic and abiotic stresses and is believed to be a mechanism of defence against pathogens in plants.

Three Cycles of Continuous Propagation of a Severe PSTVd Strain NicTr-3 in Solanum lycopersicum cv. Rutgers Resulted in Its Attenuation and Very Mild Disease Symptoms in Potato [PDF]
Agronomy, 2023 Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is a small infectious non-coding circular RNA causing diseases of important crops, including tomato and potato. The symptoms vary from mild to severe depending on the viroid strain, the host plant variety, and the ...

Time-Resolved Observation of the Destination of Microinjected Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid (PSTVd) in the Abaxial Leaf Epidermal Cells of Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Viroids are single-stranded noncoding RNA molecules of 250–400 nucleotides that cause plant diseases. One of the two families of viroids is Pospiviroidae, the members of which replicate in the nuclei of host cells.
