Rice dwarf phytoreovirus (RDV), a member of the family Reoviridae has a genome composed of 12 segmented dsRNAs designated as 51 to 512 with an increasing order of mobility in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). RDV encode 12 structural and non-structural proteins, $P1{\sim}P12$ which are encoded by the $S1{\sim}S12$ segments of the dsRNA genome, respectively. In this experiment, we confirmed in situ localization of RDV particles and P12 in cytoplasm of infected rice plant. We observed specific reaction of the gold particles using virus particle and P12 protein specific antiserum with protein A-gold immunolabelling in electron microscope. It was observed that gold particles specifically react to virus particles in cytoplasm in case using the antiserum for virus particles. In the case of antiserum for P12 protein, gold particles sporadically existing on cytoplasm without existing in organelle of cytoplasm specifically. As this result, RDV P12 protein encoded by S12 located in cytoplasm.
