A mycoplasma-like microorganism was identified on electron micrographs of ultrathin sections of roots and abnormal underground sprouts growing from roots of young apple trees artificially infected with the proliferation disease. Specimens taken in November, contained mycoplasmas at various stages of reproduction in sieve tubes of the host. Mycoplasma-like bodies occurred especially in abnormal underground sprouts, and rarely also in lateral roots.
