This protein assembled into particles indistinguishable in sedimentation rate and appearance in the electron microscope from top component particles of TBRV(G). Infective RNA-1(A) was synthesized in protoplasts inoculated with RNA-1(A) + RNA-2(G) but was not assembled into nucleoprotein particles. No multiplication of potentially infective RNA-2 was detected, although the synthesis of TBRV(G) protein suggests that at least that part of the RNA-2 coding for coat protein had replicated. Thus, some components of virus particles were produced in these protoplasts but virus multiplication was defective in other respects.", }
