Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is an important pathogen of solanaceous crops, causing the disease "spindle tuber" in potato and "bunchy top" in tomato.

OBS

The acronym PSTVd is more accurate than PSTV since the letter "d" stands for viroid.

[...] analyses de dépistage du viroïde de la filosité des tubercules (PSTVd).

OBS

Un viroïde est un organisme constitué d'une «particule» (acide nucléique du type ARN) non protégée par une enveloppe ou capside, ce qui la différencie d'un virus.

OBS

PSTVd; PSTV : acronymes anglais utilisés en français. PSTVd est plus exact que PSTV puisque la lettre «d» désigne un viroïde.
