Hop Stunt Viroid Expression and Host Responses in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
The expression of hop stunt viroid (HSVd) in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana induces similar host responses to those observed in HSVd‐infected cucumber; thus, A. thaliana can be a valuable model for viroid–host interactions. ABSTRACT Arabidopsis thaliana serves as an appealing model for viroid research, though prior infection trials have largely failed.

Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of CBCVd-infected hop plants (Humulus lupulus var. “Celeia”) provides novel insights into viroid pathogenesis [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Viroids are small, naked, infectious single-stranded RNA molecules that exploit host factors to replicate. Some viroids have been linked to severe diseases in agricultural crops, including the recent outbreak of Cocadviroid rimocitri, previously known as

Salicylic Acid Modulates Volatile Organic Compound Profiles During CEVd Infection in Tomato Plants [PDF]

Metabolites
Background:Citrus Exocortis Viroid (CEVd) is a non-coding RNA pathogen capable of infecting a wide range of plant species, despite its lack of protein-coding ability.

Viroids: from genotype to phenotype just relying on RNA sequence and structural motifs [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
As a consequence of two unique physical properties, small size and circularity, viroid RNAs do not code for proteins and thus depend on RNA sequence/structural motifs for interacting with host proteins that mediate their invasion, replication, spread ...

Understanding Citrus Viroid Interactions: Experience and Prospects [PDF]

Viruses
Citrus is the natural host of at least eight viroid species, providing a natural platform for studying interactions among viroids. The latter manifests as antagonistic or synergistic phenomena.

Natural Infection of Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) by Apple Dimple Fruit Viroid

Cells, 2022
The analysis by high throughput sequencing (HTS) and RT-PCR of Spanish pomegranate fruits showing yellow rings revealed the presence of viroid isolates closely related to fig isolates of apple dimple fruit viroid (ADFVd).

Polyclonal antibodies against potato spindle tuber viroid RNA

Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite, 2022
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

Somatic Embryogenesis: A Tool for Fast and Reliable Virus and Viroid Elimination for Grapevine and other Plant Species

Horticulturae, 2022
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a widely used technique in plant biotechnology, and it can be a possible tool for virus and viroid elimination. This review highlights the advantages and limitations of production of pathogen-free plants using somatic ...

Viroids: Non-Coding Circular RNAs Able to Autonomously Replicate and Infect Higher Plants

Biology, 2023
Viroids are a unique type of infectious agent, exclusively composed of a relatively small (246–430 nt), highly base-paired, circular, non-coding RNA.

Precisely Monomeric Linear RNAs of Viroids Belonging to Pospiviroid and Hostuviroid Genera Are Infectious Regardless of Transcription Initiation Site and 5′-Terminal Structure

Cells, 2021
Infectious dimeric RNA transcripts are a powerful tool for reverse genetic analyses in viroid studies. However, the construction of dimeric cDNA clones is laborious and time consuming, especially in mutational analyses by in vitro mutagenesis.
