Tóm tắt

Isolates of maize streak virus (MSV) were examined by thin‐section electron microscopy in plants, assessed for characteristic features of infection and compared with other related geminiviruses infecting monocotyledons from Africa, islands in the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Island of Vanuatu. Arrays of virus particles, often crystalline, were most often seen in the nucleus. The morphology of the nuclear crystalline arrays was characteristic of certain isolates or groups of isolates (strains). Infected nuclei could be seen in cells from the phloem parenchyma, vascular bundle sheath and mesophyll tissue, and also in epidermal guard cells of plants infected with the maize strain of MSV. The particle arrays varied in morphology from regular rows of virions forming distinctive blocks, to randomly arranged aggregates in certain areas of the nucleus. We consistently failed to find viral crystalline arrays associated with infection of panicum streak virus (PSV) and sugar cane streak virus (SSV) isolates either in these hosts or in maize. Occasionally arrays of MSV particles were found outside the nuclear envelope in physiologically active cells. Accumulations or sheets of MSV particles were seen lining the walls of some phloem companion cells. Crystalline aggregates of particles were frequently observed in the cell vacuole, after lysis of the nuclear membrane of dead cells which made up the chlorotic lesions, the typical symptom of virus infection. Virus preparations from all hosts contained typical geminate particles regardless of the morphology of the virion arrays. The effect on chloroplasts appeared to vary between isolates and this is discussed in relation to lesion colour. The arrangement of virions in the nucleus as a taxonomic character is diagnostic for MSV. Inclusions with crystalline structure found in sieve elements of infected plants were not immunogold labelled when thin sections were probed using antiserum to the virus particles.
