Abstract

Examination with the electron microscope has revealed that the filamentous particles characteristic of leaves infected with beet yellows virus are frequently found in association with chloroplasts, and appear to have been extruded from them. Similar investigations have been carried out on tobacco mosaic virus. The assumption is made that at least some viruses are formed within chloroplasts.
