Figure 6.  Virions of TSWV in an infected plant cell. Note the enveloped
virions frequently occur in clusters surrounded by a membrane (Left panel).
A graphic presentation of the TSWV virion consisting of the envelope which
contains two viral proteins (G1/G2) and the three RNA genome segments
encapsidated in the N protein.  The L protein is the RNA-dependent
RNA-polymerase molecule which is associated with the genome segments.
