Abstract: | Morphology of pollen grains collected from healthy and virus infected plants ofChenopodium quinoa L.,Chenopodium album L. andNicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen grains from tobacco plans infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) were smaller, with rounded shape and conspicuous deformation of aperture unlike oval and smooth pollen grains from healthy plants. No morphological alterations were observed inC. quinoa andC. album plants infected with TMV and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of pollen proteins revealed substantial quantitative and qualitative differences in protein components of pollen grains collected from healthy and virus infected plants |
