In investigations on the effect of virus infection on the tomatine content in tomato leaves the age at which the leaves show the highest tomatine level was at first determined. Systemic infection of tomato plants, caused by CMV, induced a decrease in the concentration of tomatine, manifecting itself in attenuation of the rabbit erythrocyte hemolysis ability of this sap. A similar effect of reduction of the active substance level in plants is exerted by mycoplasma-type organisms
