Abstract
Tomato chloroplasts carrying. different genes of resistance to tobacco mosaic virus were analyzed by structure and function upon infection w ith various virus strains. The composition of membrane and soluble chl oroplast proteins was studied by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel s. Low-temperature fluorescence spectra of leaf discs showed that, in plants with yellow-green mosaic, Photosystem II activity is inhibited. The determination of the chloroplast transcriptional activity was fou nd to be significantly reduced in plants with pronounced disease sympt oms.
