Morphology of eggplant mosaic virus
E. W. Kitajima; A. S. Costa
SUMMARY
Small spheroidal particles, 25-30 mμ in diameter, were consistently found in negatively stained leaf-dip preparations from plants, infected with eggplant mosaic virus (EMV), examined in the electron microscope. No similar particles were seen in preparations from non-inoculated control plants.
The constant association of these particles with the disease and their morphological resemblance with particles of several known viruses indicate their viral nature .
The high concentration of the particles in leaf-dip preparations is useful to help the diagnosis of diseases induced by EMV.
