Abstract
The aim of this review is to give a short description of the principal cytological alterations occurring in virus-infected plant cells which may be specific for the inducing virus but are relatively independent from the host plant and its general reactions to the metabolic disturbances caused by the virus. Thus, alterations like the degradation of chloroplast membrane system in chlorotic tissues, or alterations of cytoplasm and organelle structure indicating heavy disturbance of metabolism which may result in cell death (necrosis), will not be considered here. The virus-specific effects treated represent either accumulations of different viral genome products, or alterations of the host cell membrane system which are supposed to be functionally important for virus replication and which, as a rule, can be observed in the early stages of infection. If these disturbances persist until late stages of infection, they are more and more accompanied by nonspecific pathological reactions.
