The Infection of Rhoeo discoZor by Tobacco Mosaic Virus Ribonucleic Acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
A previous report (1) has indicated that Rhoeo discolor is susceptible to infection only by tobacco mosaic virus ribonucleic acid but not by the complete virus; however, recently Bawden (2)’ has obtained evidence that the intact virus can also multiply in this host. The present report indicates that these contradictory results are due to extreme differences in the physiological state of the host plant. The conclusions drawn previously appear to be valid under conditions of low light intensity.

The Susceptibility of Rhoeo discoZor to Infection by Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Gordon and Smith (1) reported that leaves of Rhoeo discolor, although insusceptible to infection by whole tobacco mosaic virus, become infected when inoculated with the virus ribonucleic acid. If established, this would be perhaps the strongest possible circumstantial evidence that infection by tobacco mosaic virus necessarily entails the ribonucleic acid separating from the protein and that so...

متن کاملImproved Methods for Infection of Plant Protoplasts with Viral Ribonucleic Acid
Protoplasts, RNA, Plant Viruses, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Polyethylene Glycol Infection of tobacco protoplasts with R N A of tobacco mosaic virus and the bromoviruses has been studied. The quality of the R N A was very important. Ribonuclease activity was controlled by incorporating 5 mM ZnCl2 in the inoculum. Up to 60% infection has been observed with bromovirus R N A but infection with TM V R N ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Nucleic Acids and of Carbohydrates on the Formation of Streptolysin
1. Ribonucleic acid of yeast causes the formation of a potent hemolysin in broth cultures of Streptococcus pyogenes. 2. The hemolysin whose formation is induced by yeast ribonucleic acid appears to be identical with streptolysin S. 3. Desoxyribonucleic acid, products of acid or alkaline hydrolysis of ribonucleic acid, or many other substances tested, fail to produce a similar effect. 4. Digesti...
