Abstract excerpt
Viroids of the family Avsunviroidae, such as eggplant latent viroid (ELVd), contain hammerhead ribozymes and replicate in the chloroplasts of the host plant through an RNA-based symmetrical rolling-circle mechanism in which oligomeric RNAs of both polarity are processed to monomeric linear RNAs (by cleavage) and to monomeric circular RNAs (by ligation). Using an experimental system consisting of transplastomic...
