TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS. (TMV)

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus species in the genus Tobamovirus that infects a wide range of plants, especially tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae. The infection causes characteristic patterns, such as "mosaic"-like mottling and discoloration on the leaves (hence the name). TMV was the first virus to be discovered. Although it was known from the late 19th century that a non-bacterial infectious disease was damaging tobacco crops, it was not until 1930 that the infectious agent was determined to be a virus. It is the first pathogen identified as a virus. The virus was crystallised by W.M. Stanley. It has a similar size to the largest synthetic molecule, known as PG5.[1] Tobacco mosaic virus Transmission electron micrograph of TMV particles negative stained to enhance visibility at 160,000× magnification Transmission electron micrograph of TMV particles negative stained to enhance visibility at 160,000× magnification Vir
