Nanovirus
General Description
The genus Nanovirus is one of two genera in the family
Nanoviridae, which consists of viruses with small (18-19 nm)
virions and are multipartite (6 to 8 or more segments of
closed ssDNA), each segment of which is circular and about
1kb in size.

No. represents the % of nuclei observed for each type in Clink expressing cells
Samples are 6-7 week old fully expanded, detached rosette leaves treated with Dex/ethanol for 4 days
In each case the sample size is 800-1,100 nuclei. Bar represents 15 microns
