Abstract
The presence of potato virus S (PVS) in the local lesions of Chenopodium quinoa was shown by bioassay, a serological test, and electron microscopy of negatively stained preparations of the infected tissues. Amorphous aggregates of particles believed to be PVS were found with the electron microscope in ultra-thin sections of both necrotic and nearby chlorotic cells of lesions sampled 8 days after inoculation of C. quinoa. The virus masses were confined to the cytoplasm and found in close proximity to the nucleus, chloroplasts, and tonoplasts. No other cellular inclusions were found in these cells.
