Impactul destabilizator al infecțiilor virale asupra microsporogenezei la plantele gazdă

Abstract

The pathogenicity reactions described in the sensitive genotypes of tomatoes and barley include specifically changes in the processes of meiotic division, with repercussions in the offspring of infected plants. The percentage of aberrant pollen mother cells (PMCs) in the offspring is at the level of control plants, while the percentage of aberrations per PMC and the frequency of meiotic conjugation are significantly higher. The consequences in meiotic division in virus free progenies reflect the destabilizing transgenerational effect of viral infection on microsporogenesis processes.
