Abstract excerpt
Infectivity studies with highly infectious RNA inocula generated by ribozyme cleavage were used to compare the biological properties of three apparently nonviable mutants of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). One of these mutants (PSTVd-P) contains three nucleotide substitutions in the left terminal loop, and mechanical inoculation of tomato seedlings with RNA transcripts at levels equivalent to 10(3)-10(5)...
