Abstract
Striated inclusions of viruses in the Dianthus caryophyllus are examined by means of an electronic microscope. They consist of several cylindriform figures which lie side by side and one above the other. Their diameter is 1500 nm. The single cylinder is cross-fibrillate (fibrillar, fibrillose) and consists of fibrillose viruses which are aggregated in a line. In the crosssection the centre appears filled with virus threads without order which appear as points. They are surrounded by a broad (layer) of threads which are arranged peripherally and like a flat screw. The diameter of the viruses is about 8-10 nm and they are 300 nm long. In the nucleus there are also fibrillose inclusions to be found. Moreover isometric viruses in noncrystalline order, measuring 33 nm in diameter, could be observed. The alterations in the cytoplasm and in the plastids caused by the influence of the viruses are described. The virus as observed in the electron microscope cannot be identified with any known virus of Dianthus.
