Abstract

Study of bean plants infected by tabacco mosaic virus and potato X virus was performed. Virus infection of bean plants induced the injury of structural state of photosynthetic apparatus, viz., the a/b chlorophyll ratio decreased and the main photosynthetic membrane lipid monogalactosyl diacylglycerol degradation took place with parallel accumulation of intermediate compound suggested to perform a signal function. Phospholipid and free sterol content increase pointed out on the changes of the membrane fluidity and permeability. Accumulation of sulphoquinovosyl diacylglycerol in infected plants evidences the probability of latter to play important roles in adaptive reactions of photosynthetic apparatus.
