Abstract | The rate of photosynthesis of tobacco leaves infected with the Rothamsted type culture of tobacco mosaic virus was lower than that of comparable healthy tobacco leaves. The lower rate was inferred from Net Assimilation Rates of whole plants and confirmed by direct comparisons of photosynthetic rates of inoculated and healthy leaves. The effect began within 1 hr. of inoculation. It was not caused by an effect of the virus on the stomata, and inactivated virus inoculum did not change the rates. The results indicate either a more rapid movement of virus from the epidermis into the chlorenchyma than has been previously recorded or an effect of virus infection at a site distant from the cells containing virus. |
