A scenario for the emergence of protoviroids in the RNA world and for their further evolution into viroids and viroid-like RNAs by modular recombinations and mutations
Viroids are tiny, circular, and noncoding RNAs that are able to replicate and systemically infect plants. The smallest known pathogens, viroids have been proposed to represent survivors from the RNA world that likely preceded the cellular world currently dominating life on the earth. Although the sm...
