Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of CBCVd-infected hop plants (Humulus lupulus var. “Celeia”) provides novel insights into viroid pathogenesis by Andrej Sečnik, Helena Volk, Urban Kunej, Sebastjan Radišek, Nataša Štajner, Jernej Jakše

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated the involvement of viroid-derived RNA in viroid pathogenesis through interactions with RNAi host factors, leading to alterations in gene expression, metabolism, and phenotype. Recent research efforts have also focused on elucidating viroid-induced changes in DNA methylation patterns via the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway. …”
