Coloured TEM of the Pea Enation Mosaic virus

False-colour transmission electron micrograph showing particles (orange dots) of Pea Enation Mosaic virus (PEMV) infecting the nucleus of a tobacco protoplast cell. The tubular complexes coloured pink & orange are crystal-like structures composed of the viral protein that is used to house & protect the nucleic acid of the virus. The virus hijacks the host cells synthetic machinery (DNA) & instructs it to code for its own nucleic acid which, in the case of PEMV, is RNA. The effect of PEMV infection on the plant is outright death, mottling of the leaves, or severe lesions on the surface of the leaf. Magnification: x18, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph of the Pea Enation Mosaic virus (PEMV). The false-colour image reveals orange dots, representing particles of the virus infecting the nucleus of a tobacco protoplast cell. What makes this image even more intriguing are the pink and orange tubular complexes, resembling crystal-like structures composed of viral protein. These structures serve as protective housing for the nucleic acid of the virus. The PEMV is a master manipulator, hijacking the host cell's synthetic machinery to code for its own RNA nucleic acid. This viral infection has devastating effects on plants, leading to outright death or noticeable symptoms such as mottling and severe lesions on leaf surfaces. With a magnification level of x18,000 at 6x4.5cm size, this photograph offers an up-close look into the intricate world of plant viruses. It provides valuable insights into virology and biology while highlighting how these microscopic organisms can cause significant harm in their quest for survival. Science Photo Library continues to amaze with their collection that spans various scientific disciplines. This particular print serves as a reminder of both nature's complexity and our ongoing battle against plant diseases like pea enation mosaic virus.
