Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of individual structural domains in viroid pathogenicity and replication, a series of interspecific chimeras was constructed by exchanging the terminal left (TL) and/or pathogenicity (P) domains between tomato apical stunt (TASVd) and citrus exocortis (CEVd) viroids. All six chimeras tested were replicated stably in tomato, and the symptoms exhibited by infected plants were intermediate...
