Plant viruses. Molecular biology of the viroid.

The Molecular Biology of Viruses

many line drawings, plates and tables in the text, almost one per page. A few typographical errors mar the book. This text is suitable for the advanced student who wants additional reading about structure at the molecular level. It is less suitable for the active researcher because it is often difficult to follow up statements in the text by using the general references at the end of the chapte...

Animal Viruses: Molecular Biology

In this multi-author work, Mettenleiter and Sobrino have compiled 10 chapters that describe what is currently known about the molecular biology of some of the most interesting viruses of veterinary importance, from the tiny circovirus of pigs (1,800 nt of single-stranded DNA) to the highly complex African swine fever virus (≈200,000 nt pairs of double-stranded DNA). It is fi tting that the fi r...

The molecular structure of Iresine viroid, a new viroid species from Iresine herbstii ('beefsteak plant').

A viroid was isolated from Iresine herbstii plants using the bidirectional PAGE method for analysis of small circular RNA molecules. The viroid was transmitted to viroid-free Iresine herbstii plants of the cultivar 'Aureoreticulata' by mechanical inoculation. Infected plants did not develop any symptoms. The new viroid species has been named Iresine viroid (IrVd). It is a member of the potato s...

Molecular Biology of Bacterial Viruses

The subject matter of this Ciba symposium departs from the usual specialized, esoteric topics of these meetings. Bringing together such noted scientists as Sir Julian Huxley, Joshua Lederberg, Albert Szent-Gy6rgi, and J. B. S. Haldane, this conference discusses the future of mankind as seen through the eyes of people actively engaged in biological research. These men don the philosopher's hat a...
