  • Viroids are infectious non-protein-coding RNAs that may cause plant diseases by a mechanism still unknown. A recent hypothesis has linked viroid pathogenesis to RNA silencing, a sequence-specific degradation mechanism mediated by small RNAs of 21-24 nt (sRNAs). This hypothesis, which has not been conclusively proved, relies on the detection of viroid-derived 21-24 nt sRNAs (vd-sRNAs) in infected tissues and predicts that some of them drive down-regulation of host gene(s) eliciting the pathogenic process. Here, we exploited the experimental system formed by the chloroplast-replicating Peach latent mosaic viroid infecting its natural host peach to further dissect the biogenesis of vd-sRNAs and the role that they may have in viroid pathogenesis. To this aim, vd-sRNAs accumulating in peach leaves infected by two PLMVd variants, which induce an albino phenotype (peach calico, PC) and a typical mosaic, were characterized by deep sequencing (Solexa-Illumina). Our results suggest the involvement of cytoplasmatic DICER-like enzymes in the genesis of the vd-sRNAs of 21 and 22 nt, using as templates the genomic PLMVd RNA of both polarities or the dsRNAs synthesized by a host RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Moreover, since vd-sRNAs from the insertion of 12-14 nt wherein the PC determinant maps are almost undetectable, it is unlikely that they could be involved in PC, thus suggesting that a mechanism different from that proposed operates in PLMVd pathogenesis.
