Characterization of Coconut cadang-cadang viroid variants from oil palm affected by orange spotting disease in Malaysia
Archives of Virology 158 (6), 1407-1410
Abstract: A 246-nt variant of Coconut cadang-cadang viroid (CCCVd) has been identified and described from oil palms with orange spotting symptoms in Malaysia. Compared with the 246-nt form of CCCVd from coconut, the oil palm variant substituted C31→U in the pathogenicity domain and G70→C in the central conserved domain. This is the first sequence reported for a 246-nt variant of CCCVd in oil palms expressing orange spotting symptoms.
