Viroid Pathogenicity: One Process, Many Faces

Viroid Pathogenicity: One Process, Many Faces

Despite the non-coding nature of their small RNA genomes, the visible symptoms of viroid infection resemble those associated with many plant virus diseases. Recent evidence indicates that viroid-derived small RNAs acting through host RNA silencing pathways play a key role in viroid pathogenicity. Ho...
