tobacco mosaic virus RNA.
In just a month, however, Biosource used an engineered
tobacco mosaic virus to make tobacco plants churn out large quantities of the antibody fragment.
"If we knew how the plant relayed this molecular signal to these other, uninfected cells," Baker says, "we could reprogram the molecular circuitry - including perhaps that of the N gene - so that cells could harmlessly acquire resistance to other pathogens, not just to
tobacco mosaic virus.
The development of transgenic papaya to prevent infection by PRSV has been employed after the successful development of transgenic tobacco, expressing the CP gene of the
tobacco mosaic virus, which showed disease resistance.
The letter combination "ASC" refers to Alternaria Stem Canker, "N" suggests resistance to nematode attack and "TMV" indicates some resistance to the dreaded
Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
These observations could be explained by the classical studies on virus distribution in plants inoculated with
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), which was found to move from the point of inoculation to the root system first, successfully infecting the youngest leaves and thereafter, the older leaves [21].
Antiviral activity of tea tree oil against
tobacco mosaic virus was reported previously (Bishop, 1995).
Samuel (1931) first reported that at the high temperature of 35[degrees]C
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) produced chlorotic lesions and a systemic mottle in Nicotiana glutinosa instead of the necrotic local lesions produced at lower temperatures.
In 1941, immunologic procedures were first used in electron microscopic studies of
tobacco mosaic virus (9), and electron microscopy was introduced successfully in the differential diagnosis of smallpox and chickenpox infections in the late 1940s (10,11).
