Molecular and Biological Characteristics of a Peach Latent Mosaic Viroid PC Isolate in Peach from China: Base Mutations in Hairpin Stems and Implications for Symptomatology.

Abstract excerpt

Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) infects peach trees in China and induces a conspicuous albino phenotype (peach calico, PC) that is closely associated with variants containing a 12-to-14 nucleotide hairpin insertion capped by a U-rich loop. Initially, PC disease distribution was limited to parts of Italy, and it was first detected in the field in China in 2019. To explore the molecular and biological...
