Abstract:
An improved method for particle length measurement was used for six members of the genus Crinivirus. Particle measurements were conducted with a CCD-72S solid state camera, which was interfaced with a Zeiss EM 109 electron microscope, and analyzed using the analysis 2.1 Image Analysis Software. In comparisons of specimen preparation methods, the leaf dip method is more representative and reproducible than the antibody capture method or preparation from purified virions. Particle length (nm) ranges of whitefly-transmitted criniviruses are: Abutilon yellows virus (AYV), 800 to 850; Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV), 750 to 800; Lettuce chlorosis virus (LCV), 800 to 850; Lettuce infectious yellows virus (LIYV), 700 to 750; Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), 800 to 850; and Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV), 850 to 900.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
