What are viroids?
Viroids are small single-stranded, circular RNAs that are infectious pathogens. Viroids are considered remnants of a primitive RNA world and some members of the Avsunviroidae family contain ribozymes. Viroids cause crop losses in the millions of euros every year and affect crop yields and quality worldwide.
