"Title: Molecular dissection of viroid pathogenesis in tomato by comparative high-throughput degradome analyses to develop innovative protection strategies Summary: Plant diseases caused by viroids are an important threat for which much research is needed. This project aims at identifying effects of viroid infection on host RNAs by a genome-wide approach (degradome analysis). The data obtained can be exploited to develop novel defense strategies against potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), which is a quarantine pathogen that may cause relevant economic losses in potato and tomato crops, and to identify novel tolerant or resistant plants to be used directly in the field or as genetic source for breeding programmes "
