Curved TMV-U1 virions accumulate in the vascular tissues of infected Col-0 plants. Electron microscopy images of virus infected tissues in Col-0 and Uk-4 plants were taken at 18 dpi. Curved virions are evident in the vascular tissue of the stem (a) and petiole of apical leaves (b), but normal rigid rod virions appear in the mesophyll of apical leaves (c). Rigid rod virions appear in the stem (d) and petiole of apical leaves (e) in Uk-4 plants. An image of Col-0 vascular cells infected with the TMV-Cg strain was included as a control (f). Bars: 100 μm.
