FIGURE 4.

Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of the viroid subfragments R80(PSTVd) and R110(HSVd). Each sequence is shown folding back on itself, as predicted for the interrupted double-helical viroid conformation. The repeats that are observed within each strand of the subfragments are presented in bold characters. The sequences shared by PSTVd and HSVd are underlined.
