Advances in viroid-host interactions

B Navarro, R Flores, F Di Serio - Annual Review of Virology, 2021 - annualreviews.org

hundred nucleotides and being unable to code for proteins, viroids represent the lowest …

Circular RNAs as therapeutic agents and targets

LM Holdt, A Kohlmaier, D Teupser - Frontiers in physiology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
It has recently been reported that thousands of covalently linked circular RNAs (circRNAs)
are expressed from human genomes. circRNAs emerge during RNA splicing. circRNAs are …

[HTML][HTML] Infectious plant diseases: etiology, current status, problems and prospects in plant protection

PA Nazarov, DN Baleev, MI Ivanova, LM Sokolova… - Acta naturae, 2020 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of diseases caused by bacterial,

Viroids: survivors from the RNA world?

R Flores, S Gago-Zachert, P Serra… - Annual review of …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Because RNA can be a carrier of genetic information and a biocatalyst, there is a consensus
that it emerged before DNA and proteins, which eventually assumed these roles and …

Current status of viroid taxonomy

Viroids are the smallest autonomous infectious nucleic acids known so far. With a small
circular RNA genome of about 250-400 nt, which apparently does not code for any protein …

Viroids, the simplest RNA replicons: How they manipulate their hosts for being propagated and how their hosts react for containing the infection

R Flores, S Minoia, A Carbonell, A Gisel, S Delgado… - Virus Research, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …

Specific Argonautes Selectively Bind Small RNAs Derived from Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid and Attenuate Viroid Accumulation In Vivo

S Minoia, A Carbonell, F Di Serio, A Gisel… - Journal of …, 2014 - Am Soc Microbiol
The identification of viroid-derived small RNAs (vd-sRNAs) of 21 to 24 nucleotides (nt) in
plants infected by viroids (infectious non-protein-coding RNAs of just 250 to 400 nt) supports …

New insights into hop latent viroid detection, infectivity, host range, and transmission

OO Atallah, SM Yassin, J Verchot - Viruses, 2023 - mdpi.com
Hop latent viroid (HLVd), a subviral pathogen from the family Pospiviroidae, is a major threat
to the global cannabis industry and is the causative agent for “dudding disease”. Infected …

Symptomatic plant viroid infections in phytopathogenic fungi

S Wei, R Bian, IB Andika, E Niu, Q Liu… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Viroids are pathogenic agents that have a small, circular noncoding RNA genome. They
have been found only in plant species; therefore, their infectivity and pathogenicity in other …

Current view and perspectives in viroid replication

Y Wang - Current opinion in virology, 2021 - Elsevier
Viroids are single-stranded circular noncoding RNAs that infect plants. The noncoding
nature indicates that viroids must harness their RNA genomes to redirect host machinery for …
