C.YR 1969 T1 Freeze-etching Observations on Tobacco Leaves Infected with Tobacco Mosaic Virus JF Journal of General Virology, VO 4 IS 2 SP 229 OP 233 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/0022-1317-4-2-229 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2099, AB SUMMARY Tobacco leaf mesophyll cells infected with tobacco mosaic virus were freeze-etched. Virus particles frequently fractured during the freeze-etching process and the implications of this observation are discussed. Freeze-etching is useful in investigations of the fine structure of virus-infected leaf cells and the general application of freeze-etching as an ancillary preparative technique to that of thin sectioning for the study of virus-infected cells is outlined., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-4-2-229
