Abstract
The initial entry and replication of a virus in a host plant occurs in only a small number of cells. Expression of viral symptoms in the plant is a result of the spreading of competent viral genetic material (either as particles or as unencapsidated RNA/DNA) through the host plant. In nonhost plants, the virus either fails to replicate or replicates in initially infected cells but fails to move to neighbouring cells. Two general pathways have been identified by which viruses spread within plants. Rapid long-distance movement of viruses can occur either via the phloem or the xylem (Atabekov and Dorokhov, 1984). In such situations, viral entry is normally by means of insect vectors. Alternatively, the spread of viral infection can occur by means of cell-to-cell movement from the infected site to neighbouring cells and tissues. In this chapter we examine the various ways in which viruses may move between cells, given that viral particles are much larger than cellular metabolites which normally pass between physiologically competent cells.
