Occurrence of Pospiviroid in potato, tomato and some ornamental plants in Turkey [PDF]
In order to investigate the Pospiviroid in potato, tomato and some ornamental plants in Turkey, a survey study was carried out from 2006 to 2009. During this survey study, a total of 1766 samples (1047potato samples, 258 tomato leaves and 461 ornamental ...

In order to analyze the production of small RNA (sRNA) by viroids upon infecting the plants, the tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Rutgers) were inoculated with the variants of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd).

The emerging value of the viroid model in understanding plant responses to foreign RNAs [PDF]
RNAs play essential roles in various biological processes. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that RNA subcellular localization and intercellular trafficking govern their functions in coordinating plant growth at the organismal level. Beyond that, plants

Characterization of a Tomato Protein Kinase Gene Induced by Infection by Potato spindle tuber viroid
Viroids—covalently closed, circular RNA molecules in the size range of 250 to 450 nucleotides—are the smallest known infectious agents and cause a number of diseases of crop plants.

Phytosanitary risk perception and management : development of a conceptual framework [PDF]
This report presents a conceptual framework for assessing and understanding phytosanitary risk perception and risk-management in plant production chains. The framework is based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour.

Matching methods to produce maps for pest risk analysis to resources [PDF]
Decision support systems (DSSs) for pest risk mapping are invaluable for guiding pest risk analysts seeking to add maps to pest risk analyses (PRAs). Maps can help identify the area of potential establishment, the area at highest risk and the endangered ...

Allelic RNA Motifs in Regulating Systemic Trafficking of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid
Intercellular RNA trafficking has been shown as a widely-existing phenomenon that has significant functions in many aspects of biology. Viroids, circular noncoding RNAs that cause plant diseases, have been a model to dissect the role of RNA structural ...

Viroids, the simplest RNA replicons: How they manipulate their hosts for being propagated and how their hosts react for containing the infection [PDF]
[EN] The discovery of viroids about 45 years ago heralded a revolution in Biology: small RNAs comprising around 350 nt were found to be able to replicate autonomously and to incite diseases in certain plants without encoding proteins, fundamental ...

To date, two plant genes encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRs) that play major roles in the defense against RNA viruses have been identified: (i) RdR1, which is responsible for the viral small RNAs (vsRNAs) found in virus-infected plants, and ...

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 ...
