广东大蒜花叶病原病毒初步鉴定

广东的开平金山火蒜、信宜木蒜、怀集绵蒜、怀集火蒜、高州火蒜、台山大蒜及河南大蒜等七个栽培品种看来都已100％感染了大蒜花叶病毒。典型的症状为花叶、扭曲、黄色条斑及矮缩等。病毒可由汁液传播,除大蒜外,人工接种的35种寄主植物全部不发病。电镜观察到开平金山火蒜等七个品种的病株汁液均含有二种线状病毒粒体,大小分别为12—13×500—700nm和12×900—2000nm,和一种大小为14×200—300nm的棒状病毒粒体。对开平金山火蒜病毒粗提纯液进行了病毒粒体在葡聚糖凝胶洗脱检测和蛋白外壳分子量测定,结果也都表明存在有三种病毒粒体。病叶切片电镜观察到细胞质内有环状和风轮状内含体。开平金山火蒜病毒抗血清与其它六个品种的抗原病毒具有同一血清反应,与水仙花叶病毒、TMV、马铃薯病毒X、Y和S、西瓜花叶病毒株系2和番木瓜环斑病毒均无反应。金山火蒜病毒中长度为500—700nm的粒体与加拿大大蒜花叶病毒粒体大小相同,其交互血清反应均为阳性,表明它们属同一种病毒,同为马铃薯Y组的大蒜花叶病毒(GMV)。其他两种病毒的归属有待进一步研究解决。

Cytopathology of Plgeonpea sterility mosaic virus in pigeonpea and Nicotiana benthamiana: similarities with those of eriophyid mite-borne agents of undefined aetiology

Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus (PPSMV) is transmitted by the eriophyid mite, Aceria cajani, and is very closely associated with sterility mosaic disease (SMD) of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajah) in the Indian subcontinent. Antiserum produced to purified PPSMV preparations detected a virus‐specific 32 kDa protein in sap of SMD‐affected pigeonpea plants by ELISA and Western blotting. PPSMV was transmitted mechanically in sap of SMD‐affected pigeonpea leaves to Nicotiana benthamiana. Ultrastructural studies of symptom‐bearing leaves of two pigeonpea cultivars, (ICP8863 and ICP2376) and N. benthamiana infected with PPSMV, detected quasi‐spherical, membrane bound bodies (MBBs) of c. 100–150 nm and amorphous electron‐dense material (EDM). These structures were distributed singly or in groups, in the cytoplasm of all cells, except those in conductive tissues. Fibrous inclusions (FIs), composed of randomly dispersed fibrils with electron lucent areas, were present in the cytoplasm of palisade cells and rarely in mesophyll cells of the two pigeonpea cultivars but were not detected in infected TV. benthamiana plants. In the PPSMV‐infected pigeonpea cultivars and TV. benthamiana, immuno‐gold labelling, using antiserum to PPSMV, specifically labelled the MBBs and associated EDM, but not the FIs. The MBBs and associated inclusions are similar in appearance to those reported for plants infected with the eriophyid mite‐transmitted High Plains virus and the agents of unidentified aetiology associated with rose rosette, fig mosaic, thistle mosaic, wheat spot chlorosis and yellow ringspot of budwood. The nature of these different inclusions is discussed.     

Electron microscopy of cocksfoot streak virus and its differentiation from ryegrass mosaic virus in naturally infected Dactylis glomerata plants

The length and rigidity of some cocksfoot streak virus (CSV) particles were greater (1) in ammonium molybdate negative stain at pH 5 than at pH 8 and (2) when magnesium was added either directly to extracted plant sap or indirectly via increased plant uptake. Most CSV particles were flexuous and 750–760 run long in low concentrations of magnesium but many were rigid and 800–810 nm long in higher concentrations. In sodium phosphotungstate and ammonium molybdate at pH 5, frequency distributions of particle lengths from cocksfoot plants infected with both CSV and ryegrass mosaic virus (RMV) produced two modal peaks, one at less than 700 nm (RMV) and the other at more than 750 nm (CSV); in ammonium molybdate at pH 8, however, only one peak (at 725 nm) was resolved. In ultrathin sections of CSV-infected cocksfoot leaves, virus-like particles were scattered or in bundles within the cytoplasm, or aligned in aggregates near the tonoplast. Some cells contained pinwheel inclusions, often with attached or associated laminar plates and occasionally with scroll-like or circular tubes. These CSV-induced inclusions were easily distinguished from those induced by RMV, even when both types occurred in the same cell.     

Ultrastructural Alteration of Host Plants Infected with Tomato Mosaic Virus

The ultrastructural aheration of two host plants infected with tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) were studies with transmission electron microscopy. A large number of virus particles were found being accumulated in different cells such as epidermis, parenchyma cells and vascular bundle cells of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. grown at 25℃ Crystalline inclusions and paracrystal inclusions composed of ToMV particles were observed in the cytoplasm or vacuoles. Some muhivesicular bodies and myeloid bodies protming into the vacuole and vires-specific vesicles associated with the tonoplast were also observed. The ultrastructuml alteration of Nicotiana tabacum L. tv. Xanthinn was similar to that in tomato infected by ToMV grown at 25 cE. In addition to the aggregate inclusions described above, some cytoplasmic angularly-layered aggregates and abnormal chloroplasts with small peripheral vesicles were observed in the parenchyma cells. The densely stained amorphous material was seen in the cytoplasm of N. tabacum L. cv. Xanthiun grown at 35℃. No X- body was observed in the cytoplasm of the ToMV infected tomato and tobacco grown at 25℃ or 35℃. The authors' results suggest a significant difference between the cytopathological effects of ToMV and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). These characteristic difference may be useful in the virus diagnosis and identification virus infections in plants.     

Ultrastructural Studies of Barley Mesophyll Cella lnfected with Barley Yellow Mosaic Viruses

lexuous filamentous, rod-shaped particles, and laminated, pinwheel inclusions were observed in the mesophyll cells of the barley plants naturally infected with barley yellow mosaic viruses. These virus particles had a length of 480–920 nm and a width of 10–20 nm. In addition, bundles of filamentous structures which consisted of many particles with more 2000 nm in length were found in the leaves of the infected barley plants. The ultrastructural alterations of the infected mesophyll cells were rather conspicuous. The cytoplasmic matrix was lost seriously, and the chloroplast membrane system was destroyed. The cristae and matrix of the mitochondrium were decreased and some of them became vacuoles. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) expanded teristic membranous network structures occurred in the cytoplasm of infected cells. The virus particles were often associated at one end with ER and with the membranes of network structures. The nucleus, membrane and wall of ceils also had somewhat variation.     

Proteinaceous crystals in cells of virus infected plants

Crystal-containing organelles in cells of virus infected plants lying at chloroplasts and mitochondria are identical with single membrane-bound microbodies containing crystals of catalase described in healthy plants. Massive complex inclusions caused by turnip mosaic virus very frequently contain the same microbodies with crystal inclusions; that phenomenon may be related to some pathophysiological changes of virus infected plants. Comparable proteinaceous crystals, but not lying within microbodies limited by a membrane, may also be found in cytoplasm of infected cells. These crystals are sometimes surrounded by a substance resembling the microbody matrix. Disintegrated cytoplasm of virus infected cells may also contain the same crystals lying free in “empty spaces”. Cytopathological effects responsible for this phenomenon and possible artifacts as well are discussed.     

The particle morphology and some other properties of chloris striate mosaic virus

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.     

Subcellular localization of the coat protein in tobacco cells infected by cucumber mosaic virus isolated from Catharanthus roseus

Electron microscopy and immunolabelling with antiserum specific to cucumber mosaic virus coat protein were used to examine tobacco leaf cells infected by cucumber mosaic virus isolated from Catharanthus roseus (CMV-Cr). Crystalline and amorphous inclusions in the vacuoles were the most obvious cytological modifications seen. Immunogold labelling indicated that the crystalline inclusion was made up of virus particles and amorphous inclusions contained coat protein. Rows of CMV-Cr particles were found between membranes of dictyosomes, but membranous bodies and tonoplast-associated vesicles were not evident. Virus particles and/or free coat protein were easily detected in the cytoplasm by immunolabelling. No gold labelling was found within nuclei, chloroplasts and mitochondria.     

Natural Infection of Cucumbers by Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus in Lebanon

An elongated virus was isolated in the Sin-El-Fil Area east of Beirut from cucumber plants showing severe mottling. The particles were 799 nm long after fixation in glutaraldehyde, but were degraded to shorter pieces in unfixed preparations. Infected cells contained cylindrical inclusions with pinwheel and scroll elements accompanied by proliferated endoplasmic reticulum. The virus was purified and an antiserum was prepared. Different serological tests (slide precipitin test, immunoelectronmicroscopical decoration test, immunosorbent electron microscopy) indicated that it was closely related or identical with zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and more distantly related to watermelon mosaic virus 2 and bean yellow mosaic virus. ZYMV isolates from Italy, France and the Lebanon differ in some host reactions.     

Ultrastructure of Inclusions Formed by Ribgrass Mosaic Virus in Leaf Cells

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.
