The Viroids

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

Of the plant diseases that are now known to be viroid incited, most were previously believed to be of virus causation. The potato spindle tuber disease, for example, was first described by Martin (1922) and shown to be an infectious disease soon after (Schultz and Folsom, 1923). From this time on until 1967, all investigators tacitly assumed that the disease was caused by a virus. Chrysanthemum stunt, similarly, was universally believed to be a conventional virus disease, ever since Brierley and Smith (1949) had demonstrated its infectious nature.
