Abstract
Mechanical inoculation of maize roots (cv. Golden Bantam) with SCMV did not result in systemic infection and the virus could only be isolated from 9 of 1950 inoculated roots. Some virus was detected in roots of young, leaf inoculated seedlings. Attempts to purify SCMV from these roots did not yield detectable virus, while 2 mg virus/100 g host tissue was obtained from leaf tissue. Ultrastructural changes in systemically infected root tip cells of maize and Johnson grass included pinwheel inclusions in epidermal cells of the former, characteristic of the potato virus Y group. Bundle inclusions were found in bundle sheath parenchyma cells of maize root tips, and bundle inclusions but not pinwheels throughout the root tips of Johnson grass. Significant changes in levels of N and carbohydrate were found in SCMV infected shoots and roots
