Abstract

Microtubules are closely associated with tubules containing virus particles in leaf cells infected with bean pod mottle virus or cowpea mosaic virus. The similar orientation and apparent continuity suggest that cores of tubules with virus particles are actually microtubules. It is suggested that microtubules may be involved in the intra- and intercellular movement of viral components and in the assembly of virus particles as well as being a factor in the reaction of a plant to virus infection.
