Physico-chemical, serological and biological analyses show that the reassembled particles are indistinguishable from the native viruses. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Crop Protection, 1992

Includes appendix containing journal publications co-authored by the author. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 130-151). Eighteen strains of Cucumber mosaic virus, including forteen from Australia, two from the USA, and two from Japan were used in this study.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves [102]-120). Studies the structure of the cucumber mosaic virus genome and the control of its expression.

Bibliography: leaves 127-138. This thesis studies the minor double stranded RNAs (dsRNA) and single stranded RNAs (ssRNA) which are consistently associated with plants infected with Q strain of cucumber mosaic virus (Q-CMV). The investigations are focused on the structural elucidation of new RNAs which have been observed in single stranded and double stranded RNA profiles of Q strain of CMV.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 108-123). Includes the paper: Stabilization of capsid structure and enhancement of immunogenicity of cucumber mosaic virus (Q strain) by formaldehyde / by R.I.B. Franki and N. Habili, originally published in Virology, v. 48, no. 2, 1972 The comparative studies carried out suggest that tomato aspermy virus and the Q strain of cucumber mosaic virus are sufficiently similar to be included in the same taxonomic group. Nevertheless, the two viruses are distinct and the present nomenclature should be retained.

Typescript (photocopy) Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-94). Eight cucumovirus isolates were examined with respect to their host range, antigenic properties and nucleic acid composition.
