Viroids: Non-Coding Circular RNAs Able to Autonomously Replicate and Infect Higher Plants
Viroids are a unique type of infectious agent, exclusively composed of a relatively small (246–430 nt), highly base-paired, circular, non-coding RNA. Despite the small size and non-coding nature, the more-than-thirty currently known viroid species infectious of higher plants are able to autonomously...
