In the present cytopathological study, phloem cells of diseased mid-vein retained the Azure A stain indicating the presence of foreign deoxy-ribo-nucleoprotein in comparison to healthy one. Inclusion bodies were found associated with the nucleus of diseased mid-vein phloem cells. Azure A stain imparts red magenta color to the inclusions rich in ribo-nucleoprotein and blue to blue violet color to inclusion rich in deoxy-ribo-nucleoprotein. At higher magnification, inclusion bodies with the diseased mid-vein phloem cells were clearly visible associated with the nucleus in comparison to healthy mid-vein phloem cells of okra plants.
