Abstract
In Vinca difformis L. leaves, particles resembling virus were found in the cytoplasm and nuclei of phloem parenchyma cells. Such virus-like particles were isodiametric averaging 23 nm and occurred either scatte red or aggregated. In other cells the particles were not visible but v esicles surrounded by a single membrane were observed in the stroma of the plastids. Some vesicles contained electron-dense bodies (plastogl obules).
