Graft transmission and cytopathological studies of a severe pear disease, pear black necrotic leafspot（PBNLS), were carried out to determine the causal agent of the disease. No evidence was found that a fungal or bacterial pathogen could be the causal agent of the disease. Attempts to transmit the agent by sap-inoculation to other plants including herbaceous hosts failed. How-ever, the pathogen was readily graft-transmitted from symptomatic diseased pears to healthy pears. Graft transmission of the pathogen was also demonstrated by using an indicator plant, PS-95, developed in the laboratory through various grafting methods. Ultrastructural study of the disease revealed the consistent presence of flexuous rod-shaped virus-like particles (VLP) in the symptomatic leaves of both Niitaka cultivar and indicator pear, PS-95. The particles, approximately 12 nm in diameter with undetermined length, occurred in the cytoplasm of mesophyll parenchyma cells. Cells with VLPs also contained fibril-containing vesicles, which are common in cells infected with plant viruses with ssRNA genome. The vesicles were formed at the tonoplast. Based on the symptomatology, the presence of fibril-containing vesicles, and graft-transmissibility, it is believed that the VLPs that occurred on symptomatic leaves of black necrotic leafspot of pear are viral in nature, possibly those of a capillovirus.

인삼(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) 캘러스로부터 분리한 원형질체를 배양하면서 배양시간에 따른 원형질체의 미세구조 변화와 원형질막 표면을 전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 3일 동안 배양된 원형질체에서는 조면소포체, 리보좀, 골기체, 미토콘드리아, 전색소체 등의 세포기관들의 수가 증가하였고 미소관도 관찰되었다. 골기체 주변에는 많은 골기소낭들이 형성되어 세포질 전반에 존재하였고, 이들 소낭들은 원형질막 바깥으로 돌출되어 돌기를 형성하기도 하였다. 소포체에서 유래된 액포속에는 액포의 함입에 의하여 골기소낭들이 들어 있는데, 이들 액포들은 융합에 의한 exocytosis로 원형질막 근처로 이동하여 원형질막과 융합한 다음, 세포벽 물질을 원형질막 바깥으로 방출하여 원형질막에 침적하였다. 전색소체는 많은 전분립을 함유하고 있었고, 미소관들은 원형질막 근처에서 막과 평형으로 배열하고 있었다. 배양된 원형질체의 표면에는 섬유소로 구성되어 있는 원섬유들이 서로 연결되어 있는 것이 관찰되었다.

Mixed infection of watermelon mosaic potyvirus II isolated from pumpkin (WMV-P) and cucumber green mottle mosaic tobamovirus from watermelon (CGMMV-W) caused extremely severe symptoms such as progressive silting and death of watermelon plants. Single infections of either WMV-P or CGMMV-W on the same hosts produced only vein clearing and/or mosaic on the upper leaves. In cells infected with WMV-P, potyvirus-characteristic inclusions of pinwheels, scrolls and cylindrical inclusions were present in the cytosol. Parallel arrays of virus particles in the tonoplast were also common. In cells infected with CGMMV-W, virus particles occurred as stacked-bands of scattered randomly in the cytosol and vacuoles in all type cells. Many cells also contained vesiculated mitochondria with fibril-containing vesicles. Cells infected mixedly with WMV-P and CGMMV-W contained structural features that were not observed in cells infected singly with the two viruses. A particle of WMV-P potyvirus was surrounded by evenly spaced nine particles of CGMMV-W tobamovirus, which made a unique nonagon ring. The angled layers having $60^{\circ}$-$135^{\circ}$ were alternating layer, herringbone, crosshatching and ladder figures.
