  Tomato-Tobacco Mosaic Virus Disease
Tobacco mosaic virus is one of the most common causes of virus diseases of plants in Minnesota.
Although tobacco mosaic virus may infect many other types of plants, it generally is restricted to plants that are grown in seedbeds and transplanted or plants that are handled frequently.
Thus, control of tobacco mosaic virus is primarily focused on reducing and eliminating sources of the virus and limiting the spread by insects.

 Tobacco mosaic virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is an RNA virus that infects plants, especially tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae, showing characteristic patterns (mottling and discoloration) on the leaves (thus the name).
In 1955, Heinz Fraenkel-Conrat and Robley Williams showed that purified TMV RNA and its capsid (coat) protein assemble by themselves to functional viruses, indicating that this is the most stable structure (the one with the lowest free energy), and likely the natural assembly mechanism within the host cell.
In 1958, she speculated that the virus was hollow, not solid, and hypothesized that the RNA of TMV is single-stranded.

Many viruses have striking geometrically regular shapes, with helical structure as in tobacco mosaic virus, polyhedral (often icosahedral) symmetry as in herpes virus, or more complex mixtures of arrangements as in large viruses, such as the pox viruses and the larger bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages.
A free virus particle may be thought of as a packaging device by which viral genetic material can be introduced into appropriate host cells, which the virus can recognize by means of proteins on its outermost surface.
Some human diseases are apparently caused by the body’s response to virus infection: immune reaction to altered virus-infected cells, release by infected cells of inflammatory substances, or circulation in the body of virus-antibody complexes are all virus-caused immunological disorders.

Tobacco Trash - Tobacco mosaic virus will survive for years in dried tobacco tissue, so anything that may be contaminated with pieces of leaf, stem, or root tissue should be cleaned prior to use in the crop.
Crops planted in North Carolina that are susceptible to TMV are tobacco, tomato, pepper, and eggplant.

 Molecular Dynamics of STMV
Satellite Tobacco Mosaic Virus is a small, icosahedral plant virus which worsens the symptoms of infection by Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV).
The mechanism through which the virus assembles has not yet been discovered through experimental techniques; among the most critical questions is whether STMV assembly is primarily driven by the capsid or the viral RNA.
Although a crystal structure for the RNA backbone exists, it is also unclear how the sequence of the virus maps onto that backbone, because it has been impossible to obtain a high enough resolution electron map for that part of the structure.

For example, a virus causing light and dark green areas (mosaic patterns) that was first seen on tobacco was named tobacco mosaic virus.

 Virus Structure
The discovery that virus particles could form spontaneously from purified subunits without any extraneous information indicated that the particle was in the free energy minimum state and was therefore the favoured structure of the components.
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is representative of one of the two major structural classes seen in viruses of all types, those with helical symmetry.
TMV particles are rigid, rod-like structures, but some helical viruses demonstrate considerable flexibility and longer helical virus particles are often seen to be curved or bent.

But when a dormant virus is stimulated, it enters the lytic phase: new viruses are formed, self-assemble, and burst out of the host cell, killing the cell and going on to infect other cells.
Even a hypothetical virus that could infect and kill all dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, could not have infected the ammonites or foraminifera that also went extinct at the same time.
Viruses also carry out natural "genetic engineering": a virus may incorporate some genetic material from its host as it is replicating, and transfer this genetic information to a new host, even to a host unrelated to the previous host.

This role reversal stems from the ability of a well-studied pathogen, the tobacco mosaic virus, to force an infected plant to mass-produce the proteins of the virus.
To test that possibility, Tuse, Levy, and their colleagues used tobacco plants to make a fragment of an antibody from a mouse B cell lymphoma.
When this fragment was injected into healthy mice as a cancer vaccine, the animals produced antibodies targeting the protein, the scientists report in Jan. 19 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
