Abstract:	Virus-like particles of TRSV were detected in thin sections of the intine of the pollen wall, the wall and cytoplasm of the generative cell, the integuments, nucellus, embryo sac wall and in the megagametophytic cells of the soybean cv. Harosoy. Anthers of TRSV-infected soybean produced less pollen than anthers from virus-free plants; the pollen from infected plants was low in germination capacity and its germ tubes elongated more slowly than germ tubes of pollen from virus-free plants. Evidence from cross pollination experiments suggests that infection of megagametophytes is the principal factor contributing to seed transmission of this virus in soybean.
