Abstract: 
The phenol-soluble proteins from leaves of healthy and viroid-infected plants were compared after separation on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. After staining with Coomassie blue, alterations in the protein patterns of infected plants were found which resulted from an increase or decrease of certain protein bands. After infection with the same viroid, different hosts show characteristic changes in the protein pattern which suggest that these alterations are host-specific rather than pathogen-specific. After infection of tomato plants with different viroid species a protein with the apparent MW of 14,000 (p 14 tom) was found to accumulate dramatically. This protein also accumulates in tomato plants after viral and fungus infections and the rate of its accumulation is directly related to the severity of symptoms developed by the diseased plants. It is assumed that it is a response of tomato plants to infection in general.
