Abstract:

Abstract Background and Aims: Apple scar skin disease (ASSD) is one of the destructive diseases of pome fruits which is caused by ASSVd. Case presentation: We report molecular detection of ASSVd in symptomatic apples cv. Red Delicious with simultaneous presence of a new variant of HSVd from Khorasan Razavi province. Conclusion: This is the first report on the association of HSVd with ASSVd in apple trees showing merely symptoms of apple dapple on the fruit.

Nucleotide sequence and secondary structure of apple scar skin viroid.

The complete nucleotide sequence of apple scar skin viroid(ASSV) has been established, and a probable secondary structure is proposed. A single-stranded circular ASSV RNA consists of 330 nucleotides and can assume the rodlike conformation with extensive base-pairing characteristic of all the known viroids. ASSV shows low sequence homologies with other viroids and lacks the central conserved reg...

New Hosts and Comparison of Biological and Molecular Characteristics of Fig, Mulberry, and Citrus Isolates of Hop Stunt Viroid in Iran

Abstract Background and Aims: Hop stunt viroid (HSVd, genus Hostuviroid, family Pospiviroidae) has a wide host range among trees and herbaceous plants. The objectives of this study were to compare biological and physical characteristics of three isolates of HSVd from mulberry, fig and citrus and search for other hosts of this viroid in Iran. Materials and Methods: Plant samples were col...

Hop stunt viroid: molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of the complete cDNA copy.

The complete cDNA of hop stunt viroid (HSV) has been cloned by the method of Okayama and Berg (Mol.Cell.Biol.2,161-170. (1982] and the complete nucleotide sequence has been established. The covalently closed circular single-stranded HSV RNA consists of 297 nucleotides. The secondary structure predicted for HSV contains 67% of its residues base-paired. The native HSV can possess an extended rod-...
