- Title
The Effect of Light on Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) Formation.
- Authors
OLSSON, R.
- Abstract
Discs were punched from TMV-inoculated tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and illuminated while floating on half strength Vickery's solution maintained at 24°C. After 48 hours some discs were placed in the dark for 24 hours and the amount of TMV formed in the light and dark compared. Discs from young leaves formed more virus in the light than in the dark. Discs from older leaves produced less virus, but as much in the dark as in the light.
