Can plants be vectors?

I can't think of any examples where plants are vectors of disease. Typically a disease vector is an organism that moves a disease causing organism from one host to the next. It's hard to imagine how a plant could do this, except in the dispersal stages of plants' life histories (pollen and seeds, mainly). I do not know of any examples where a pollen grain or a seed carries a disease from one host to the next, but I won't say that it is an impossible scenario.
