Potato spindle tuber viroid infection triggers degradation of chloride channel protein CLC-b-like and Ribosomal protein S3a-like mRNAs in tomato plants

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
It is well established that viroid derived small RNA (vd-sRNA) induces RNA silencing of endogenous mRNA. However, it remains not clear how exactly viroid infections can lead to severe symptom induction given the fact that fewer vd-sRNAs binding the ...

Sequence analysis of three citrus viroids infecting a single Tunisian citrus tree (Citrus, reticulata, Clementine)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2006
We report the nucleotide sequences of three citrus viroids belonging to three different genera: Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) and Citrus viroid-III (CVd-III) isolated from a single natural infected Citrus reticulata var ...

VIROIDS IN ORNAMENTALS [PDF]

open access: yesActa Horticulturae, 2011
With a genome composed of a small (246-401 nt), single-stranded, circular RNA, viroids are a special class of replicons infecting plants, including some ornamentals, in which they may induce specific diseases. In striking contrast to plant viruses, which encode proteins mediating their own replication and movement, viroids depend on host factors for ...

Occurrence Status of Five Apple Virus and Viroid in Korea

open access: yesResearch in Plant Disease, 2020
The investigation of the infection rate of domestic apple orchards by four types of apple viruses (Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus [ACLSV], Apple stem pitting virus [ASPV], Apple stem grooving virus [ASGV], Apple mosaic virus [ApMV]) and one type of ...

Self-assembly Controls Self-cleavage of HHR from ASBVd (−): a Combined SANS and Modeling Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceIn the Avocado Sunblotch Viroid (ASBVd: 249-nt) from the Avsunviroidae family, a symmetric rolling-circle replication operates through an autocatalytic mechanism mediated by hammerhead ribozymes (HHR) embedded in both polarity ...

A Current Overview of Two Viroids That Infect Chrysanthemums: Chrysanthemum stunt viroid and Chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid

open access: yesViruses, 2013
The chrysanthemum (Dendranthema X grandiflorum) belongs to the family Asteraceae and it is one of the most popular flowers in the world. Viroids are the smallest known plant pathogens.

Insights Into Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid Quasi-Species From Infection to Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Viroids are non-coding RNA plant pathogens that are characterized by their possession of a high mutation level. Although the sequence heterogeneity in viroid infected plants is well understood, shifts in viroid population dynamics due to mutations over ...

Viroids and prions. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1982
Viroids are small "naked" infectious RNA molecules that are pathogens of higher plants. The potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) is composed of a covalently closed circular RNA molecule containing 359 ribonucleotides. The properties of PSTV were compared with those of the scrapie agent, which causes a degenerative neurological disease in animals.

Modes of Viroid Transmission [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 2022
Studies on the ways in which viroids are transmitted are important for understanding their epidemiology and for developing effective control measures for viroid diseases. Viroids may be spread via vegetative propagules, mechanical damage, seed, pollen, or biological vectors.

Nucleotide bias of DCL and AGO in plant anti-virus gene silencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Plant Dicer-like (DCL) and Argonaute (AGO) are the key enzymes involved in anti-virus post-transcriptional gene silencing (AV-PTGS). Here we show that AV-PTGS exhibited nucleotide preference by calculating a relative AV-PTGS efficiency on processing ...
