Virus-like Particles and Cytoplasmic Inheritance of Plaques in a Higher Fungus

Nature New Biology volume 241, pages 108–109 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

PLAQUE formation induced by viral infection has been recognized in bacteria and in tissue culture of mammalian cells1–4. Rarely, however, has a simple criterion such as plaque formation been correlated with the presence of a virus in fungi, although since fungal viruses were first discovered, about thirty have been at least partly characterized5–8.
