The relationship between a pollutant and a diseased plant was examined in this work. The response of virus-free and virus-infected tobacco plants to ozone was compared, and the effect of ozonation on the production of active virus in the plant tissue was considered. Ozonation did not produce the changes in the virus-infected tissue that it did in the virus-free tissue. The test indicated an increase in Tobacco mosaic virus activity in ozonated tobacco foliage. Apparently there is a time-dependent stimulating action of ozone on virus activity. 5 references.
