ResumoAbundant cytoplasmic inclusions were observed in thin sections of pea leaf tissue systemically infected with clover yellow mosaic virus (CYMV). The inclusions were variable in size and shape, but all consisted of aggregates of flexuous, rod-shaped particles sectioned in various planes. The particles in the inclusions were similar to those observed in embedded and sectioned purified preparations of CYMV. Tissue from noninoculated plants did not contain inclusions similar to those formed by CYMV. Possible relationships between the intracellular aggregates found in infected tissue and aggregation of purified virus are discussed.
