Abstract

Nicotiana tabacum and N. sylvestris were inoculated with the viruses of tobacco mosaic and tobacco etch, simultaneously or at intervals of 1-4 days. Control plants were inoculated with only 1 virus. Cytological examinations made on the 11th and 40th day after inoculation revealed characteristic inclusion bodies in many cells, and indicated not only that 2 viruses may be present in the same cell but also that multiplication of both could take place.
