| mosaic viruses | Viruses which produce a mottled appearance of the leaves of plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cucumber mosaic virus satellite | A satellite RNA (not a satellite virus) which has several types. Different cucumoviruses can act as helper viruses for different types. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tobacco mosaic virus | <virology> Plant RNA virus, the first to be isolated. Consists of a single central strand of RNA (a helix of 6500 nucleotides) enclosed within a coat consisting of 2130 identical capsomeres that, in the absence of the RNA, will self assemble into a cylinder similar to the normal virus but of indeterminate length. Causes mottling of the leaves of the tobacco plant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tobacco mosaic virus replicase | <enzyme> Involved in resistance of plants to tmv; transgenic plants expressing additional insertion (an is10-like transposable element) in the tmv replicase gene are resistant to tmv Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: tmv 183 kD replicase (26 Jun 1999) |
| tobacco mosaic virus satellite | A spherical RNA satellite virus which requires an obligatory rod-shaped helper tobacco mosaic virus for replication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fluid mosaic model | A model used to conceptualise cell membranes, in it, the membranesare described as a structually and functionally asymmetric lipidbilayer studded with embedded proteins that aid in cross-membrane transport. (09 Oct 1997) |
