Journal ArticleDOI
Viroids and viroid-host interactions.
Ricardo Flores,Carmen Hernández,A. Emilio Martínez de Alba,José-Antonio Daròs,Francesco Di Serio +4 more
TL;DR: Although they induce symptoms in plants similar to those accompanying virus infections, viroids have unique structural, functional, and evolutionary characteristics and could exert their pathogenic effects via RNA silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fittest versus the Flattest: Experimental Confirmation of the Quasispecies Effect with Subviral Pathogens
TL;DR: It is shown that “survival of the flattest” can also occur in biological entities by analyzing the outcome of competition between two viroid species coinfecting the same plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of genetic robustness in RNA viruses
TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that during RNA virus evolution, alternative robustness mechanisms may have been selected is reviewed, including mechanisms of intrinsic robustness arising as consequences of RNA‐genome architecture, replication peculiarities and quasi‐species population dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replication of avocado sunblotch viroid: evidence for a symmetric pathway with two rolling circles and hammerhead ribozyme processing.
TL;DR: Observations strongly suggest that the hammerhead structures which mediate the in vitro self-cleavage reactions are also operative in vivo of ASBVd.
Book ChapterDOI
Avsunviroidae family: viroids containing hammerhead ribozymes.
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the second viroid family, whose members are also referred to as hammerhead viroids, taking into account their most outstanding feature, their potential to adopt hammerhead structures in both polarity strands and to self-cleave in vitro accordingly.
