Abstract excerpt
Comparative sequence analysis suggests that the left terminal domain of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) and other large pospiviroids may assume a branched tertiary structure containing two pseudoknots. To search for evidence of such a structure in vivo, the nucleotide sequences proposed to interact were mutagenized, tomato seedlings were inoculated with mixtures of potentially infectious PSTVd RNA transcripts...
