Magnetic-field-induced Alignment and Instabilities in Ordered Colloids of Tobacco Mosaic Virus
نویسنده
چکیده
Magnetic fields have been used to produce well aligned nematic liquid crystalline and colloidal crystalline samples of nearly monodisperse tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Hydrodynamic instabilities induced by reorientation in a magnetic field have been studied in the well aligned nematic liquid crystalline samples.

Sugarcane Mosaic Virus-Based Gene Silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana
Background:Potyvirus-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used for knocking down the expression of a target gene in numerous plant species. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a monopartite, positive single strand RNA virus. Objectives:pBINTRA6 vector was modified by inserting a gene segment of SCMV in place of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) genome part 1 (TRV1 or RNA1)...
متن کاملTomato and Tobacco Phytoene Desaturase Gene Silencing by Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) Technique
Background and Aims: Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) is a virus vector technology that exploits antiviral defense mechanism. By infecting plants with recombinant viruses containing host genes inserted in the viral genome, VIGS achieves the RNA silencing process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and tobacco (Nicotiana be...
متن کاملField-induced transient periodic structures in nematic liquid crystals : the splay Frederiks transition
2014 A beautiful striped texture is often observed as the initial response of a uniformly aligned nematic liquid crystal to a suddenly applied reorienting field The structure of the instability depends on the elastic and viscous anisotropy of the liquid crystal, the field strength, and in an important way on the boundary conditions imposed by the sample cell. We have studied the geometry in whi...
متن کاملStudy on Genetic Diversity of Terminal Fragment Sequence of Isolated Persian Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is one of the devastating plant viruses in the world that infects more than 200 plant species. Movement protein plays a supportive role in the movement of other plant viruses, and viral coat protein is highly expressed in infected plants and affects replication and movements of TMV. In order to investigate genetic variation in the terminal fragment sequence in Iranian...
متن کاملMicrofluidic fabrication of hydrogel microparticles containing functionalized viral nanotemplates.
We demonstrate rapid microfluidic fabrication of hybrid microparticles composed of functionalized viral nanotemplates directly embedded in polymeric hydrogels. Specifically, genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) templates were covalently labeled with fluorescent markers or metalized with palladium (Pd) nanoparticles (Pd-TMV) and then suspended in a poly(ethylene glycol)-based solution...
