The results showed that marked cytopathological alterations were observed both in resistant plants and in susceptible plants, compared with that in healthy plants. However, some ultrastructural alterations, which observed in resistant plants, were different from those in susceptible plants. In resistant plants, which infected with the virus, the main organelles, including chloroplasts and mitochondria, were slightly destroyed, the amount of mitochondria and peroxisome were increased. A few or no plasmodesmata were observed. There were three kinds of inclusions including pinwheel, bundle and laminated aggregate, and the virus particles in the cytoplasm. In susceptible plants, which infected with the virus, the chloroplasts were heavily disrupted, including thylakoid swelling and envelope broking. The virus particles were more than those in the resistant variety. Four kinds of inclusions including pinwheel, bundle, laminated aggregate and high electon-dense body appeared in cytoplasm. Plasmodesmata and plasma membrane were abundant, and there were frequent invaginations of the plasma membrane that led to the formation of vesicles and myelin-like structures.展开更多
The complete sequence of a potyvirus from maize in Zhejiang Province was determined. The RNA was 9596 nucleotides long, excluding the 3′-poly (A) tail, and there was a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 9192 nts...The complete sequence of a potyvirus from maize in Zhejiang Province was determined. The RNA was 9596 nucleotides long, excluding the 3′-poly (A) tail, and there was a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 9192 nts encoding a 346.1 ku polyprotein. The polyprotein had substantial amino acid sequence homology with those encoded by the RNAs of a Chinese isolate of sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV-C) and a Bulgarian isolate of maize dwarf mosaic virus, but it was most closely related to sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) isolates, for which only partial sequences have been published. According to the published criteria for distinguishing potyviruses, the sequence reported here is clearly a strain of SCMV, but it also showed a surprisingly high amino acid homology with SrMV-C in the HC-Pro, P3 and CI proteins.展开更多
The 3’-terminal 1 279 nucleotide sequence of maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) genome has been determined. This sequence contains an open reading frame of 1023 nudeotides and a 3’ -non-coding region of 256 nucleotides...The 3’-terminal 1 279 nucleotide sequence of maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) genome has been determined. This sequence contains an open reading frame of 1023 nudeotides and a 3’ -non-coding region of 256 nucleotides. The open reading frame includes all of the coding regions for the viral capsid protein (CP) and part of the viral nuclear inclusion protein (Nib). The predicted viral CP consists of 313 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 35400. The amino acid sequence of the viral CP derived from MDMV cDNA shows about 47%-54% homology to that of 4 other potyviruses. The viral CP gene was constructed in frame with the lacZ gene in pUC19 plasmid and expressed in E. coli cells. The fusion polypeptide positively reacted in Western blot with an antiserum prepared against the native viral CP.展开更多
