Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is a plant virus that infects many plant species, including tobacco, tomatoes, and many other plants. TMV is the prototypical virus, providing important insights into virus structure, diversity, and evolution. TMV is also the most studied virus of its type, used widely in molecular biology and biotechnology. In molecular biology, TMV serves as a model for a variety of studies, including protein folding and gene expression. In biotechnology, TMV is used for the development of various vaccines, for the production of transgenic plants, and for the development of transgenic animals. Furthermore, TMV has become an important tool in biomanufacturing, where it is used to produce enzymes and pharmaceutical proteins.
