Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD), the most harmful disease of sweet potatoes in East Africa, is caused by mixed infection with sweet potato feathery mottle potyvirus (SPFMV) and sweet potato chlorotic stunt crinivirus (SPCSV). Wild Ipomoea spp. native to East Africa (J cairica, I. hildebrandtii, I. involucra and J wightii) were graft-inoculated with SPVD-affected sweet potato scions. Inoculated plants were monitored for symptom development and tested for SPFMV and SPCSV by grafting to the indicator plant J setosa, and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Virus-free scions of sweet potato cv. Jersey were grafted onto these wild Ipomoea spp. in the field, and scions collected 3 wk later were rooted in the greenhouse and tested for viruses using serological tests and bioassays. In all virus tests, J cairica and J involucra were not infected with either SPFMV or SPCSV. J wightii was infected with SPFMV, but not SPCSV, in the field and following experimental inoculation; J hildebrandtii was infected with SPCSV, but not SPFMV, following experimental inoculation. These data provide the first evidence of East African wild Ipomoea germplasm resistant to the viruses causing SPVD.  相似文献

Summary Amaranthus plants infected with a virus of rod-shaped particles showed under the light microscope intracytoplasmic amorphous and crystalline inclusions.The submicroscopic organization of mesophyll cells from infectedAmaranthus leaves by electron microscopy is described. Besides big crystalline inclusions, long dark inclusions correspondent to needle-like inclusions observed by light microscopy are definable in the cytoplasm. The amorphous inclusion bodies were formed by an overgrown protrusion of vacuolate cytoplasm containing virus particles, long very dark stained inclusions forming dense bands and rings, normal elements of the cytoplasm such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, and some spherosomes. Inclusions and virus particles were not found in chloroplasts, mitochondria or nuclei of infected cells.  相似文献

Thin sections of mature anthers and pollen grains from three lettuce (Lactuca sativa) plants infected with lettuce mosaic potyvirus (LMV) were studied by immunogold labelling. Labelled LMV particles were present externally on the exine of pollen grains from all plants, but were observed internally in the pollen grains from only one plant. Within mature pollen grains the virus particles were associated with the cytoplasmic bundle inclusions typical of infection by potyviruses. The tapetal plasmodium and the epidermal and endothecial layers of mature anthers from all infected plants also contained labelled virus particles, together with pinwheel and bundle inclusions.  相似文献

Diffrent types of cytoplasmic inclusions were observed in ultrathin sections of plants systemically infected with three different strains of ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV) (tobamovirus group). Tissue from uninoculated plants did not contain such inclusions. Most common were “rounded plates” consisting of layers of aligned virus particles 300 nm long. RMV also induced angled layer aggregates in Capsicum annuum plants. A novel type of inclusion for the tobamovirus group were the abundant spiral aggregates found in Digitalis purpurea, systemically infected with strain D of RMV. In these aggregates the virions become circularly arranged around a center. The orientation of the particles changes in such a way that virions being 300 nm apartare cut in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction respectively.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic vacuoles seen in methanol-fixed, Giemsa's-stained ookinetes of Leucocytozoon simondi, Parahaemoproteus fringillae and Plasmodium gallinaceum, when studied with the electron microscope, were found to correspond with crystalloid inclusions of similar structure, particle size, and arrangement. Cytochemical examination of these “crystalloids” revealed their lipid-protein nature. Morphologically similar inclusions were found also in ookinetes of Leucocytozoon ziemanni and Parahaemoproteus velans. In L. simondi, crystalloid is formed rapidly after fertilization, from amorphous electron dense material seen in mature macrogametocytes. The arrangement and distribution of crystalloids in the zygote, ookinete, oocyst, and sporozoite are described. On the basis of differences in structure and particle size, it is proposed that the crystalloid inclusions in Haemosporina be divided into 2 types. Type I—lipid-protein in nature, characterized by electron dense irregularly spherical particles, 25–40 nm in diameter, with individual particles not invested by membrane. Type II—probably virus, characterized by electron dense, irregularly spherical, membrane-bounded particles, with a diameter usually greater than 40 nm.  相似文献

The role of microtubules in intracellular transport of African swine fever virus (ASFV) and virus-induced inclusions was studied by immunofluorescence using anti-ASFV and anti-tubulin antibodies, by electron microscopy of infected Vero cells and by in vitro binding of virions to purified microtubules. MTC, a reversible colchicine analogue, was used to depolymerize microtubules. In cells treated with MTC multiple large inclusions containing ASFV antigens and particles were observed in the cytoplasm. Removal of the drug lead to migration and fusion of the inclusions at a perinuclear location. To study the effect of microtubule repolymerization on virus particle distribution, the particles were counted in thin sections of MTC treated cells and at different times after removal of the drug. In cells treated with MTC 6.8% and 3.6% of the virus particles were found respectively in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane while 38% of the particles were located around the virosome. With reversal of the drug effect the number of virus particles around the virosomes progressively decreased to 10% at 2 h while the number of particles in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane increased. At 2 h after removal of the drug 33.5% of the particles were found budding from the cell membrane. Virus particles were found closely associated with microtubules in cytoskeletons obtained by Triton X-100 extraction of taxol treated cells. The association of virus particles with microtubules was also observed in vitro using purified microtubules and virus particles. The results show that microtubules are involved in the transport of African swine fever virus particles from the assembly site to the cell surface and in the movement and fusion of the virus inclusions.  相似文献

Immunogold labeling was used to study the time of appearance and distribution of a nodule-specific form of uricase (EC 1.7.3.3) in developing nodules of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) inoculated with Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The enzyme was detected in thin sections of tissue embedded in either L R White acrylic resin or Spurr's epoxy resin, by employing a polyclonal antibody preparation active against a subunit of soybean nodule uricase. Antigenicity was better preserved in L R White resin, but ultrastructure was better maintained in Spurr's. Uricase was first detectable with protein A-gold in young, developing peroxisomes in uninfected cells, coincident with the release of Bradyrhizobium bacteroids from infection threads in adjacent infected cells. As the peroxisomes enlarged, labeling of the dense peroxisomal matrix increased. Gold particles were never observed over the paracrystalline inclusions of peroxisomes, however. Despite a close association between enlarging peroxisomes and tubular endoplasmic reticulum, uricase was not detectable in the latter. In mature nodules, labeling of uricase was limited to the large peroxisomes in uninfected cells. Small peroxisome-like bodies present in infected cells did not become labeled.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - Da dalton - ER endoplasmic reticulum - IgG immunoglobulin G  相似文献

Summary Samples ofPelargonium zonale with different virus symptoms were collected from several gardens in Madrid. Inoculation to test plants and electron microscopy of the samples were made.2 viruses were isolate from the samples; by symptomatology, size of the virus particles, and distribution of the virions in the host cells, one of them (P1) was identified withPelargonium leaf curl and the other (P2) seems to be a previously undescribed virus. The virus P2 forms crystalline inclusions composed of virus particles in the vacuoles of the infected cells.  相似文献

The effect of chitosan on the accumulation and state of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in mesophyll cells of Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Samsun leaves is studied in the early stage of the development of the infection (3 days after infection of leaves). In the cells of leaves treated with chitosan 24 h before infection, the virus accumulated to a lesser degree than in the control. With the use of chitosan, TMV-specific granular inclusions were often observed in infected cells, the presence of which is ascribed to the early stages of virus reproduction, whereas the control cells contained mainly tubular inclusions formed from granular inclusions at the late stages of the infectious processes. This shows that chitosan delays the development of the infection. In the phosphotungstic acid-treated juice preparation made from infected leaves, abnormal (swollen and thin), as well as normal, TMV particles were observed. The appearance of abnormal viral particles seems to result from the virus-induced activation of intracellular lytic processes. In chitosan-treated infected cells, the lytic activity was the highest and the number of abnormal viral particles increased compared to the control. It is suggested that the chitosan-mediated stimulation of lytic processes that cause the destruction of TMV particles may be one of the protective mechanisms that limit the accumulation of the virus in cells.  相似文献

The causal agent of Chloris striate mosaic disease appears to be a virus with polyhedral particles 18 nm in diameter usually occurring as paired structures about 18 times 30 nm in negatively stained preparations. These particles were detected in the nuclei of infected plants forming characteristic inclusions in all cells except those of the epidermis. Such particles were not detected in thin sections of viruliferous leaf hopper vectors (Nesoclutha pallida). Purified virus preparations were shown to be highly infective when assayed by feeding vector leaf hoppers through membranes and confining them on indicator plants. In particle morphology, chloris striate mosaic virus (CSMV) differs from other viruses of Gramineae in Australia but resembles maize streak virus isolated in Africa, which however is serologically unrelated.  相似文献

Tulip virus X (TVX), a previously undescribed mechanically transmissible virus, causes chlorotic and necrotic lesions in leaves and streaks of intensified pigmentation in tepals of tulip plants. The virus infected 22 of 42 other plant species in 10 of 14 families, but most host species were infected only erratically. TVX is best propagated in Chenopodium quinoa and assayed in C. amaranticolor. Spindleshaped inclusions were observed in epidermal cells of C. amaranticolor leaves. Leaf extracts from C. quinoa contained flexuous filamentous particles measuring c. 495 ×13 nm. The extracts were infective after dilution to 10-9, after heating for 10 min at 60 °C but not at 65 °C, and after storage at c. 20 °C for 30 days or at -20 °C for 6 months. TVX particles were purified (500 μg/g C. quinoa leaf) from tissue extracts in 0.067 M phosphate buffer containing 10 mM EDTA at pH 7, by twice precipitating the virus with 8% polyethylene glycol in 0.2 M NaCl followed by differential centrifugation. The virus particles have a sedimentation coefficient (s20, w) of 102 S. They contain a protein of mol. wt c. 22 500 and a nucleic acid that, when glyoxalated, migrates in agarose gel like single-stranded RNA of mol. wt 2.05 × 106. TVX particles tend to aggregate, and evidence was obtained that a 118 S component which was consistently observed in purified preparations and in infective sap is an end-to-end dimer. A distant serological relationship was found between particles of TVX and those of viola mottle and hydrangea ringspot viruses, but no serological relationship was detected to nine other potexviruses. TVX is considered to be a distinct and definitive member of the potexvirus group.  相似文献

The species ofChamaesyce classified by Boissier as the “Pleiadeniae” are revised in light of presently available collections. Six species are accepted and new combinations are proposed forC. nana, C. setosa, C. tamanduana, andC. viscoides. Although these herbaceous perennials of cerrado vegetation of Brazil, northern Argentina, and adjacent countries are distinctive ecologically and geographically, cladistic analysis does not support their recognition as a monophyletic group.  相似文献

A sap-transmissible virus, provisionally named Sri Lankan passion fruit mottle virus (SLPFMV), was isolated from Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa and shown to induce leaf mottling and distortion in that host. The virus infected 23 species in five plant families with systemic infection being common in the Passifloraceae. Chenopodium amaranticolor was a good local lesion host and Passiflora foetida was a useful systemic host for purification. In P. foetida extracts, SLPFMV lost infectivity after 10 min between 70–75°C, 6–7 days at 20–23°C and at dilutions of 10--5 -W-6. The virus had flexuous, filamentous particles with a normal length of c. 841 nm. Two polypeptides of mol. wt c. 33 200 and 28 700 were detected in purified virus preparations, and a major species of double-stranded RNA (mol. wt 7.0 × 106), was detected in infected plants. Pinwheels, tubular and laminated inclusions were found in ultrathin sections of infected P. edulis f. plavicurpa and cylindrical inclusions were observed in epidermal strips. SLPFMV was transmitted by the aphids Myzus persicae, Aphis spiraecola, A. gossypü and A. cruccivora after brief acquisition feeds. SLPFMV reacted with antisera to several potyviruses including passion fruit woodiness virus, passion fruit ringspot virus, potato virus Y and watermelon mosaic virus 2 and thus, apparently, is a member of the potyvirus group.  相似文献

Summary In the nectary of Catalpa bungei the gland cells contain nuclear inclusions consisting of stacks of lamellae 12.7 nm thick. Each lamella is composed of globular particles with a diameter of approximately 12.7 nm. The particles are arranged in a monolayer, revealing a regular square pattern in face view. In adjacent lamellae the globular subunits are almost exactly superimposed; each of them is probably built up of smaller subunits having a diameter of 0.4 nm.

Summary The cytopathology induced by an isolate of tobacco necrosis virus (TNV-W) causing wilted, non-self-limiting lesions inPhaseolus bean was compared with that of abiotically-induced wilting. The main cell alterations specific to TNV-W infection were ER proliferation and vesiculation, plasmolysis and plasmalemma proliferation. Later there was lysis of most cell membranes, formation of crystalline inclusions in the chloroplasts and development of fibrous structures in the cytoplasm. It is suggested that the chloroplast inclusions consist of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCo). TNV-W replicated extensively in infected cells, often forming large crystalline aggregates of virus particles. Tissue wilting, as well as crystallization of the virus and RuBisCo, may have been caused by cell dehydration due to the loss of plasmalemma integrity.Abbreviations CA chromic acid - CI crystalline inclusion - DG dense granule - E ethanol - ER endoplasmic reticulum - FS fibrous structure - H2O2 hydrogen peroxyde - MVB multivesicular body - Pb lead citrate - PTA phosphotungstic acid - RuBisCo ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase - TNV-W tobacco necrosis virus-wilting - UA uranyl acetate  相似文献

The ultrastructure of cell inclusions of different ornamental plants infected with several filamentous viruses of the potyviruses was studied at the transmission electron microscope. The plants examined were: Crocus sativus, Hyacinthus sp., Gladiolus sp., rhizomatous Iris, Muscari sp., Nerine bowdenii and Sparaxis sp. Differences in morphology of cylindrical inclusions have been used to separte the potyviruses in several subdivisions.  相似文献

Nonoccluded, icosahedral picornavirus-like (PVL) particles, 23 nm in diameter, forming paracrystalline arrays were seen in the cytoplasm of various cells in Cotylogaster occidentalis. Viral inclusions were visible in live specimens and in sections prepared for light and electron microscopy. All worms examined over a 2-year period were found to be infected. Infections were naturally acquired and susceptibility was not associated with any particular developmental stages. Development of viral inclusions involved an increase in the inclusion volume, progressive accumulation and condensation of materials into the interior of the inclusions, and formation of multilamellar membrane networks. Virus particles were observed in the stroma of the inclusions in association with multilamellar spherical bodies. Mature PVL particles aggregated into polygonally shaped paracrystalline arrays. When such arrays occurred in the surface tegument, local disruption of the tegumentary membrane may liberate these particles into the environment. PVL particle production did not exhaust glycogen content of infected cells and did not appear to affect short-term survival of the parasite outside the molluscan host.  相似文献

Forty of 79 bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata) housed in an outdoor structure became infected with a respiratory disease, and 16 died. The most conspicuous lesions were those of hemorrhagic interstitial lobar pneumonia and focal hepatic necrosis with monocytic infiltration and eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions. A virus, in high titer, was obtained from the lung and liver of two fatal cases (107 TCID50 × gram of tissue) by inoculating tissue homogenates in primary vervet monkey kidney, BSC-1, and MA104 cell cultures. The cytopathic effect was identical with that induced by Herpesvirus simiae in the same cell cultures. Similar cellular changes were seen in LLC-MK2 cell cultures. Infected cells contained eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions, and intranuclear herpes-like virus particles were seen by electron microscopy. The virus could not be passed serially in mice by the intracerebral route of inoculation. Bonnet monkeys (herpes antibody-free), inoculated intravenously with the virus, developed vesicular lesions on the arms, face, hands, and soles of the feet; and the virus was recovered from the vesicular fluid. All lesions disappeared within three weeks after inoculation, and the animals later recovered. On the basis of host range, cytopathic effect, electron microscopy, mouse susceptibility, and the results of neutralization tests in tissue cultures, the virus was identified as Herpesvirus simiae.  相似文献

Euphorbia mosaic virus was purified from infected plants of Nicotiana benthamiana. Highest concentrations of virus particles were found in infected plant tissue between 10–12 days after inoculation. The enzyme driselase assisted in purification of the virus particles from the infected tissue yielding about 600 μg/kg of plant material. Purified preparations showed a maximum absorption at 260–263 nm and the ratio of absorption at 260 and 280 nm was 1.4. The viral nucleic acid was digestedby DNase I and S1 Nuclease but not RNase A. A single coat protein with a MW of 32,000 d and two DNA bands with a MW 0.96 × 106 d (2870 nucleotides) and 0.90 × 106 d (2700 nucleotides) were associated with the purified virus particles. Virus specific DNA was isolated from infected tissue between 7 and 15 days after inoculations.  相似文献

Experiments in controlled environments tested interactions between freezing soil (a compost-vermiculite mixture) and below-ground infection of white lupins with each of three pathogenic fungi (Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium avenaceum or Pleiochaeta setosa) on plant disease and death. Whilst soil freezing (up to 4 days at – 1oC) caused slight necrosis and increased the severity of disease symptoms, incidence of plant death was increased only after inoculation, before freezing, of the lower hypocotyl of the youngest plants (soil frozen at less than 17 days old) with P. setosa. It is concluded that the contribution of below-ground infection by pathogenic fungi to overwinter losses in autumn-sown white lupin crops is exacerbated to a negligible extent by soil freezing, the main primary cause of such losses.  相似文献
