Immuno-gold labeling of corn stunt spiroplasma (CSS, Spiroplasma kunkelii, Class Mollicutes) in sieve elements and other phloem cells of infected maize leaves. CIL:19126, from the same image group, is a labeled version of this image. CSS is a wall-less procaryote that causes corn stunt disease and is biologically transmitted by some leafhopper species, e.g. Dalbulus maidis and D. gelbus (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae). Spiroplasma cells are limited by a unit membrane with no cell wall. They can be quasi-spherical, pleiomorphic or maintain a filamentous/spiral form. CSS multiplies in both plant and insect hosts and is transmitted with salivary secretions during feeding of the vector on new host plants.

本数据集展示了感染玉米叶片中的玉米矮化螺旋体（CSS，学名 Spiroplasma kunkelii，属乳杆菌纲）在筛管元素及其他韧皮部细胞中的免疫金标记。图像编号 CIL:19126，属于同一图像组，是该图像的标记版本。CSS 为无壁原核生物，可引发玉米矮化病，并通过某些叶蝉物种（如 Dalbulus maidis 和 D. gelbus，属半翅目蚜总科）进行生物传播。螺旋体细胞被单位膜所限制，无细胞壁。它们可以是近球形的、多形态的，或保持丝状/螺旋状形态。CSS 可在植物和昆虫宿主中增殖，并在传播者取食新宿主植物时，通过唾液分泌进行传播。来自同一贡献者的相关图像也存放在图书馆中。
