%X Four negative stains were tested on Peanut mottle virus (PMV), two irolater of Peanut  green mosaic virus-systemic necrosis (PGMV-SN) ar~dsy etrmic mosaic (PGM V-SM), to datrrmlne  their effects on the stability and particle length distribution.  Whan phosphotunngstate(PleTA ) at pH 7.0 was used, particle lengh and width of PMV  and PGMV-SM werr conside~ably affecrnd rasulting in variation, whereas PGMV-SN war la18  affected. When uranyl acotete (UA) and urrnyl formate (UF) ware ured, tho prrlicler of  PGMV-SM and PMV were better preserved, in contrast to PGMV-SN which was unstable in  both the uranyl stains. PGMV.SN was well presarved in ammonium molybdrte (AM) o f pHs  3.5 and 6.5 but was d;sruoted in OH 8.0. Although PMV could be stairled with AM of pH  3.6, particles ware poorly stained In wM ot pHs 6.6 and 8.0. Pertlcles ol PGMV-SM were  poorly strined in AM of all the three pH valuer.
