Abstract
Chlorotic areas of Capsicuum anuum L. leaves infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) have been investigated. Pathological changes of chloroplasts were found out. Swelling, more osmophilic plastoglobuli, loosened thylakoid structure were observed. It was shown that chloroplasts did not take part in the process of virus replication. Some structural changes of mitochondria were discovered too. They were most tolerant to the virus infection in comparison with other organoids.
