Photo Mug : Turnip yellow mosaic virus capsid
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Turnip yellow mosaic virus capsid
Turnip yellow mosaic virus capsid, molecular model. This virus infects a wide variety of plants, including crops such as turnips and cabbages, causing yellow patches on the leaves. In viruses, the capsid is the protein shell that encloses the genetic material. A capsid consists of subunits called capsomeres that self-assemble to form the shell seen here. Here, this shell, approximately spherical in shape, has icosahedral symmetry. One of the functions of the capsid is to aid the transmission of the viral genetic material into host cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Turnip yellow mosaic virus capsid, a molecular model that plays a crucial role in infecting various plants, including turnips and cabbages. The virus causes distinct yellow patches on plant leaves, leading to significant damage in crops. Within viruses, the capsid acts as a protective protein shell encompassing the genetic material. The spherical-shaped capsid displayed here exhibits icosahedral symmetry and is composed of individual subunits called capsomeres. These capsomeres self-assemble to form the robust shell seen in this artwork. Besides safeguarding the viral genetic material, one of the primary functions of this remarkable structure is facilitating the transmission of viral genes into host cells. Set against a black background, this visually striking image highlights both its artistic appeal and scientific significance. It provides valuable insights into virology, microbiology, and biochemistry by showcasing key elements such as proteins and macromolecules that contribute to pathogenicity. As an illustration from Science Photo Library's collection, it serves as an educational resource for researchers studying plant pathology or those interested in understanding how viruses operate at a molecular level. This photograph beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of nature's smallest yet most potent adversaries – viruses like Turnip yellow mosaic virus – reminding us once again of their profound impact on our world.
