Abstract

Protoplasts of Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Top Crop), infected with bean golden mosaic virus, were isolated and fixed by various methods for in situ hybridization. An iodine-125 labeled probe was made from the replicative form of the virus. The localization and quantitation was done by autoradiography. Cell wall removal lowered the background and allowed a more accurate analysis. RNase was used to eliminate the possibility of hybrids to RNA. The evidence suggests a sequence of virus movements starting from rough endoplasm reticulum, moving to the nuclear membrane, and finally with the highest concentration inside the nucleus.
