An anomalous form of mycoplasma-like bodies in periwinkle infected with the sandal spike agent

Abstract: An anomalous form of mycoplasma-like bodies was found in 'necrotic' cells in the sieve elements of periwinkle stem after infection with the sandal spike disease agent. These bodies, 50-160 nm in diameter, were strongly osmiophilic and bounded by a unit membrane. It is suggested that these anomalous bodies represent a naturally degenerated form of the mycoplasma-like bodies.

“…The abnormal mtracytoplasmic preservation reflected lack of viability. These bodies were interpreted as senescent stages of the in situ prokaryotes, closely resembling, in size and morphology, some of the degenerate MLO forms previously reported (HlRUMl andMARAMOROSCH 1972, HiRUKI andDiJKSTRA 1973).…”

“…7A and 8A). Moreover, many necrotic cells occur in the phloem and in the cambial layers of old, diseased twigs (Dijkstra and Van der Want, 1970) and stems (Hiruki and Dijkstra, 1973a). Although no abnormal accumulation of callose could be detected in these necrotic cells, sieve elements in the proximity of the latter contained definitive callose (Hiruki and Dijkstra, 1973b).…”
