Reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA), an isothermal nucleic acid amplification and detection method, was developed to detect peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) in pollen and peach leaves. Results showed that this RT-RPA detection method can be performed at 42 °C and completed in approximately 5 min, and there was no cross-reactivity with other common peach viruses. A sensitivity assay showed that the RT-RPA assay was 1000-fold more sensitive than a regular RT-PCR. Moreover, the method was successfully applied to test field-collected samples. The newly developed RT-RPA assay is rapid, sensitive, and reliable method for detection of PLMVd in peach pollen and leaves and can be utilized as an effective technique in quarantine and viroid-free certification processes.

glycosylation is closely linked to a wide range of biological functions in organisms. Owing to the constriction of awful crystals formed by conventional MALDI matrices and the extremely inferior ionization efficiency of glycans, the traditional direct detection of glycans by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has been gradually replaced by postderivatization detection using reactive matrices. Nevertheless, the laborious identification of complex spectral peaks remains the major difficulty in glycan profiling.

The complete genome sequences of two poorly studied Prunus-infecting nepoviruses, apricot latent ringspot virus (ALRSV) and myrobalan latent ringspot virus (MLRSV) were determined, confirming that they are members of subgroup C. Serological, biological, and molecular data, in particular a low level (58.8%) of amino acid sequence identity in the coat protein, suggest that ALRSV and MLRSV should be considered taxonomically distinct.

Deciphering the targets of microRNAs (miRNAs) in plants is crucial for comprehending their function and the variation in phenotype that they cause. As the highly cell-specific nature of miRNA regulation, recent computational approaches usually utilize expression data to identify the most physiologically relevant targets. Although these methods are effective, they typically require a large sample size and high-depth sequencing to detect potential miRNA-target pairs, thereby limiting their applicability in improving plant breeding.

Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) infects peach trees in China and induces a conspicuous albino phenotype (peach calico, PC) that is closely associated with variants containing a 12-to-14 nucleotide hairpin insertion capped by a U-rich loop. Initially, PC disease distribution was limited to parts of Italy, and it was first detected in the field in China in 2019. To explore the molecular and biological characteristics of PLMVd PC isolates in peach in China, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of disease phenotype development and investigated the data-associated pathogenicity and in vivo dynamics of the Chinese isolate PC-A2 using slash-inoculation into GF-305 peach seedlings.

Peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) is an important pathogen that causes disease in peaches. Control of this viroid remains problematic because most PLMVd variants are symptomless, and although there are many detection tests in use, the reliability of PCR-based methods is compromised by the complex, branched secondary RNA structure of the viroid and its genetic diversity. In this study, a duplex RT-qPCR method was developed and validated against two previously published single RT-qPCRs, which were potentially able to detect all known PLMVd variants when used in tandem.
