tobacco mosaic virus
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that infects a wide range of plants, especially tobacco and other members of the Solanaceae family. It is considered the first fully characterized virus and is known to cause a disease characterized by mosaic-like mottling and discoloration on the leaves of affected plants. The virus can spread from plant to plant through direct contact and is highly stable, resistant to common disinfectants. It is named for its characteristic rod-like shape. TMV was also the first virus to be crystallized, providing significant insights into virus structure and function.

Tobacco mosaic virus
Tobacco mosaic virus is a positive-sense single stranded RNA virus that infects 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. TMV was the first virus to ever be discovered. Although it was known from the late 19th century that an infectious disease was damaging tobacco crops, it was not until 1930 that the infectious agent was determined to be a virus.
