Electron microscopy studies were carried out to investigate the cytopathological changes induced in tomato leaves by T omato torrado virus (To TV ) that infects tomato plants worldwide causing severe necrotic symptoms. Plants infected with one of the Polish isolates of To TV were used for cytopathological research. The results revealed severe cellular alterations, especially in S olanum lycopersicum . Moreover, it was shown that crystalline aggregates of virions occurred not only within the phloem cells as it has been previously reported.
