Viruses, 2022 Viroid and viroid-like satellite RNAs are infectious, circular, non-protein coding RNAs reported in plants only so far. Some viroids (family Avsunviroidae) and viroid-like satellite RNAs share self-cleaving activity mediated by hammerhead ribozymes ...

Viroids and the Origin of Life [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Viroids are non-coding circular RNA molecules with rod-like or branched structures. They are often ribozymes, characterized by catalytic RNA. They can perform many basic functions of life and may have played a role in evolution since the beginning of life on Earth. They can cleave, join, replicate, and undergo Darwinian evolution.

Viroid Pathogenicity: One Process, Many Faces
Viruses, 2009 Despite the non-coding nature of their small RNA genomes, the visible symptoms of viroid infection resemble those associated with many plant virus diseases.

Management of plant health risks associated with processing of plant-based wastes: A review [PDF]
, 2009 The rise in international trade of plants and plant products has increased the risk of introduction and spread of plant pathogens and pests. In addition, new risks are arising from the implementation of more environmentally friendly methods of ...

The viroid and viroid-like RNA database [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1998 The viroid and viroid-like RNA database is a compilation of all natural sequences published in journals or available from the GenBank and EMBL nucleotide sequence libraries. Several information regarding these RNA species such as the position of their self-catalytic domains and the open reading frame of the human hepatitits delta virus are provided ...

Mexico: A Landscape of Viroid Origin and Epidemiological Relevance of Endemic Species
Cells, 2022 Viroids are single-stranded, circular RNA molecules (234-406 nt) that infect a wide range of crop species and cause economic losses in agriculture worldwide.

Emerging value of the viroid model in molecular biology and beyond
Virus Research, 2022 Viroids are single-stranded circular noncoding RNAs that infect plants. Research in the past five decades has deciphered the viroid genome structures, viroid replication cycles, numerous host factors for viroid infection, viroid motifs for intracellular ...

Force for ancient and recent life: viral and stem-loop RNA consortia promote life. [PDF]
, 2014 Lytic viruses were thought to kill the most numerous host (i.e., kill the winner). But persisting viruses/defectives can also protect against viruses, especially in a ubiquitous virosphere. In 1991, Yarmolinsky et al.
