Abstract excerpt
Thermal stress of PSTVd-infected Nicotiana benthamiana led to appearance of a broad PSTVd sequence distribution, where most of mutations accumulated in the left half of the viroid's secondary structure including the "pathogenicity" domain. A similar effect had been reported for hop latent viroid [Virology 287 (2001) 349]. The pool of viroid "thermomutants" progenies was transcribed into cDNA and used for...
