Cytopathology of mature ovaries from lettuce plants infected by lettuce mosaic potyvirus

Cytopathology of mature ovaries from lettuce plants infected by lettuce mosaic potyvirus

1994

A:PS

The location of LMV in mature ovaries of lettuce plants was studied by conventional thin-section EM and immunogold cytochemistry. Flexuous filamentous particles and inclusion bodies characteristic of LMV infection were observed in the integumentary tapetum, integument and ovary wall of the mature ovary, but not in the embryo sac, suggesting that the virus is not transmitted by seed.
