Plants mixedly infected with the U2 strain of tobacco mosaic virus (T2MV) and sunnhemp mosaic virus (SHMV) and grown at 35 degrees, yield particles of the same modal lengths (300 and 40 nm) as those found in plants singly infected with SHMV, but not in plants infected with T2MV, which yield only the long particles. At least some of the particles produced in mixedly infected plants contain coat proteins of both viruses. When RNAs from these particles are translated in vitro the coat proteins of both viruses are produced, although when a mixture of RNAs from particles of SHMV and T2MV, grown separately, are translated in vitro only SHMV protein is produced. These and other results suggest that the short particles produced in mixedly infected plants contain both coat protein messengers.
被烟草花叶病毒U2株系（T2MV）和太阳麻花叶病毒（SHMV）混合感染并在35摄氏度下生长的植物，产生的病毒粒子具有与单独感染SHMV的植物中发现的相同模态长度（300和40纳米），但在感染T2MV的植物中则不然，后者只产生长粒子。混合感染植物中产生的至少一些粒子含有两种病毒的衣壳蛋白。当这些粒子的RNA在体外进行翻译时，两种病毒的衣壳蛋白都会产生，尽管当分别生长的SHMV和T2MV粒子的RNA混合物在体外进行翻译时，只产生SHMV蛋白。这些结果以及其他结果表明，混合感染植物中产生的短粒子包含两种衣壳蛋白信使。
