Abstract:	Cowpea mild mottle virus (CMMV), a whitefly-transmitted, rod-shaped virus isolated in Thailand, induced feather-like structures in the cytoplasm of infected soybean cells. These structures were the result of a complex arrangement of virus particles and occurred in all types of cells observed. An organized arrangement of virus particles in the form of layers was also observed in the cytoplasm of the infected cells. In ultrathin sections, the particles measured about 10 nm wide and more than 600 nm long, which corresponded to the size reported for the purified preparations of CMMV. No feather-like structurs or virus particles were observed in healthy tissues.
