Abstract excerpt
Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) is a chloroplast-replicating RNA that propagates in its natural host, peach (Prunus persica), as a complex mixture of variants, some of which are endowed with specific structural and pathogenic properties. This is the case of variant PC-C40, with an insertion of 12 to 13 nucleotides that folds into a hairpin capped by a U-rich loop, which is responsible for an albino-variegated...
