Los viroides, los agentes infecciosos más simples de la escala biológica, están constituidos por
una molécula circular de RNA monocatenario de aproximadamente 250-400 nucleótios (nt) que no
codifica proteína alguna. A ...

[EN] Viroids are small infectious, non-protein-coding circular RNAs that replicate independently and, in some cases, incite diseases in plants. They are classified into two families: Pospiviroidae, composed of species that ...
López-Carrasco, María Amparo; Flores Pedauye, Ricardo(Landes Bioscience, 2017)
[EN] With a minimal (250-400nt), non-protein-coding, circular RNA genome, viroids rely on sequence/structural motifs for replication and colonization of their host plants. These motifs are embedded in a compact secondary ...

[ES] Los viroides están constituidos por RNA circular de pequeño tamaño, no codificante, estructurado y monocatenario, pudiéndose considerar como los agentes infecciosos vegetales más pequeños conocidos hasta la fecha. En ...
[EN] Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are regulatory molecules involved in the modulation of gene expression. Although originally assumed as non-coding RNAs, recent studies have evidenced that animal circRNAs can act as translatable ...
[EN] Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been applied to plant virology since 2009. NGS provides highly efficient, rapid, low cost DNA, or RNA high-throughput sequencing of the genomes of plant viruses and viroids and of ...
[EN] Post-transcriptional modifications of RNA bases are widespread across all the tree of life and have been linked to RNA maturation, stability, and molecular interactions. RNA modifications have been extensively described ...
Pallás Benet, Vicente; Sanchez Navarro, Jesús Ángel; James, D.(Frontiers Media SA, 2018)
[EN] Plant viruses are still one of the main contributors to economic losses in agriculture. It has been estimated that plant viruses can cause as much as 50 billion euros loss worldwide, per year. This situation may be ...

[EN] Avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd), the type member of the family Avsunviroidae, replicates and accumulates in chloroplasts. Whether this minimal non-protein-coding circular RNA of 246-250 nt exists in vivo as a free ...
Pallás Benet, Vicente; Di Serio, Francesco; Suzuki, Noburo(Elsevier, 2023-01-02)
[EN] Dr. Ricardo Flores, a guru of viroid science, passed away from cancer in December two years ago. The journal Virus Research has recently invited Francesco Di Serio, Nobuhiro Suzuki and myself to organize a special ...
[EN] Viroids, due to their small size and lack of protein-coding capacity, must rely essentially on their hosts for replication. Intriguingly, viroids have evolved the ability to replicate in two cellular organella, the ...
[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 ...
