Viroid Intercellular Trafficking: RNA Motifs, Cellular Factors and Broad Impacts

Viroids are noncoding RNAs that infect plants. In order to establish systemic infection, these RNAs must traffic from an initially infected host cell into neighboring cells and ultimately throughout a whole plant. Recent studies have identified structural motifs in a viroid that are required for tra...
