[EN] Mutation rates vary by orders of magnitude across biological systems, being higher for simpler genomes. The simplest known genomes correspond to viroids, subviral plant replicons constituted by circular non-coding ...

[EN] Understanding how viruses and subviral agents initiate disease is central to plant pathology. Whether RNA silencing mediates the primary lesion triggered by viroids (small non-protein-coding RNAs), or just intermediate-late ...

[EN] Viroids are small, single-stranded, non-protein coding and circular RNAs able to infect host plants in the absence of any helper virus. They may elicit symptoms in their hosts, but the underlying molecular pathways ...
[EN] Viroids are small (246¿401 nucleotides), non-coding,
circular RNAs able to replicate autonomously in certain plants.
Viroids are classified into the families Pospiviroidae and
Avsunviroidae, whose members replicate ...
