SUMMARY The effect of infection of barley with barley stripe mosaic virus on the chlorophyll, phospholipid and galactolipid content was examined in plants grown in sand culture with a range of nitrogen concentrations. The systemic yellowing and mosaic symptoms of infection were associated with a reduction in the chlorophyll and galactolipid content and an increase in the phospholipid content of leaves. The effects of the virus were not reversed by high nitrogen. The effects of virus infection are interpreted as a stress‐induced phenomenon and the effects compared with those brought about by other stresses.
