Plasmalemmasomes were observed in leaves of healthy, PSTVd (potato spindle tuber vroid) infected and artifically stunted tomato plants. Their shape and distribution could not be clearly related to infection with PSTVd as previously suggested. These membranous proliferations were suggested to represent one of the normal physiological responses of the plants to a multitude of possible exogenous influences.
