Most of the commercially important varieties have been selected from the long established types of the tropical India and China. In the past, farmers maintained and suppli...

Mutational Analysis of Eggplant Latent Viroid RNA Circularization by the Eggplant tRNA Ligase in Escherichia coli

Eggplant latent viroid (ELVd) is a relatively small non-coding circular RNA that induces asymptomatic infections in eggplants (Solanum melongena L.). Like other viroid species that belong to the family Avsunviroidae, ELVd contains hammerhead ribozymes in the strands of both polarities that self-cleave RNAs producing terminal 5-hydroxyl and 2,3-cyclic phosphodiester groups. Available experimenta...
