Effect of Liposome Encapsulation of Cauliflower Mosaic Virus and Its Dna on Plant Infectivity and Culture of Turnip (Brassica Rapa L.) Protoplasts, Their Uptake and Expression of Exogenous Dna
Abstract
dc:descriptionAn infectivity test was developed for assessing the effect of liposome encapsulation of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and its DNA. When grown at temperatures below 24 C, inoculated half-leaves of turnip (Brassica rapa L. cv. Just Right) produced distinct lesions. Decolorizing and staining leaves for starch increased 2 to 3 times the number of observable lesions. This starch lesion assay for CaMV provided infectivity-dilution curves with linear response regions and allowed accurate estimates of unknown virus concentrations.
