Viroids
Some viroids have devastating effects, whereas others cause epinasty,
rugosity, chlorosis, and necrosis on leaves, internode shortening of stems
leading to the stunted plants, bark cracking, deformation, and color alterations
of fruits and storage organs, and delay in foliation, flowering, and ripening.
