Tobacco mosaic virus has been known to cause a production loss for flue cured tobacco of up to two percent in North Carolina. [33] It is known to infect members of nine plant families, and at least 125 individual species, including tobacco, tomato , pepper (all members of the Solanaceae ), cucumbers , a number of ornamental flowers , [ 34 ] and ...

[3] [4] The name Tobamovirus comes from the host and symptoms of the first virus discovered (Tobacco mosaic virus). [ 5 ] There are four informal subgroups within this genus: these are the tobamoviruses that infect the brassicas , cucurbits , malvaceous , and solanaceous plants.
Rosalind Franklin proposed the full structure of the tobacco mosaic virus in 1955. One main motivation for the study of viruses is because they cause many infectious diseases of plants and animals. [1] The study of the manner in which viruses cause disease is viral pathogenesis. The degree to which a virus causes disease is its virulence. [2]

After tobacco mosaic was recognized as a virus disease, virus infections of many other plants were discovered. [34] The importance of tobacco mosaic virus in the history of viruses cannot be overstated. It was the first virus to be discovered, and the first to be crystallised and its structure shown in detail.
Martinus Beijerinck (1851–1931), a Dutch microbiologist and botanist, first used the term when studying the tobacco mosaic virus, becoming convinced that the virus had a liquid nature. [1] The word "virus", from the Latin for "poison", was originally used to refer to any infectious agent, and gradually became used to refer to infectious ...
A few years later in 1969, scientists discovered another symbiotic relationship with the tobacco ringspot nepovirus (TobRV) and another satellite virus. [8] The emergence of satellite RNA is said to have come from either the genome of the host or its co-infecting agents, and any vectors leading to transmission.
