Abstract

Localization of virus RNA in stroma of Capsicum anuum L. chloroplasts was determined by the PCR method. Accumulation of virus protein in the membranes and stroma of infected pepper chloroplasts has been studied. It is concluded that the virus protein synthesis takes place in the pepper chloroplasts.
