[EN] In symptomless plants of portulaca a potential new pospiviroid was characterized. Analysis by both
double and return PAGE showed the presence of a circular RNA. RT-PCR and sequencing revealed a
genome of 351 nt with ...
[EN] Apple hammerhead viroid-like RNA (AHVd RNA) has been reported in different apple cultivars and geographic regions and, considering the presence of hammerhead ribozymes in both polarity strands, suspected to be either ...
Verhoeven, Jacobus Th. J.; Meekes, Ellis T. M.; Roenhorst, Johanna W.; Flores Pedauye, Ricardo; Serra Alfonso, Pedro(Microbiology Society, 2013-04)
[EN] A viroid-like RNA has been detected in two asymptomatic dahlia accessions by return and double
PAGE. It appeared smaller than Chrysanthemum stunt viroid and Potato spindle tuber viroid, the
two members of the genus ...
Serra Alfonso, Pedro(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-07-17)
Estudios realizados en Atalantia citroides, un género afín de los cítricos, mostraron que estaba infectada con un viroide no descrito hasta el momento. Este nuevo viroide tiene un genoma de 293-294 nucleótidos con una alta ...
[EN] Natural populations of peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) are complex mixtures of variants. During routine testing, TaqMan rtRT-PCR and RNA gel-blot hybridization produced discordant results with some PLMVd isolates. ...
[EN] Ten isolates of apple hammerhead viroid-like RNA (AHVd RNA) were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or by RT-PCR analysis of apple (Malus domestica) 'Pacific Gala' (PG) from Canada. All consisted of 433 ...
Serra, Pedro; CARBONELL, ALBERTO; Navarro, Beatriz; Gago Zachert, Selma; Li, Shigang; Di Serio, Francesco; FLORES PEDAUYE, RICARDO(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020-05-12)
[EN] There is a subviral world, whose most prominent representatives are viroids. Despite
being solely composed by a circular, highly structured RNA of 250 to 400 nucleotides
without protein-coding ability (all viruses ...
[EN] As a consequence of two unique physical properties, small size and circularity, viroid RNAs do not code for proteins and thus depend on RNA sequence/structural motifs for interacting with host proteins that mediate ...
FLORES PEDAUYE, RICARDO; Gago Zachert, Selma Persida; SERRA ALFONSO, PEDRO; Sanjuan Verdeguer, Rafael; ELENA FITO, SANTIAGO FCO(Annual Reviews, 2014)
[EN] 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 relegated RNA to intermediate functions. ...
