Nicotiana glutinosa L. [1]

Nicotiana glutinosa is a species of tobacco plant that is economically important in tobacco hybrids. N. glutinosa is native to western South America, including Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is a model organism for the study of Tobacco mosaic virus resistance in tobacco. ^{[2] [3]}

N. glutinosa is a Dicotyledon and is from the family of Solanaceae. ^[4] The use of N. glutinosa in tobamoviruses allowed for the death of lesions within the plant. ^[5] They are a C3 photosynthesizing plant and are a photoautotroph. ^[6] They are hosts to the Ageratum leaf curl virus. ^[6] This species is eaten by potato tuberworms. ^[7] Other synonyms of N.glutinosa include Blenocoes longiflora Raf., Nicotiana militaris L., and Tabacus viscidus Moench. ^[8]

Growing plants at substantially higher temperatures than normal may induce virus-like symptoms. When Nicotiana glutinosa plants are held at 37.8°C for 4–8 days and then returned to 22°C, new leaves display a pattern of mosaic, vein-clearing, chlorosis, and other abnormalities that resemble virus infection. These symptoms gradually disappear in newer leaves but can be induced in the same plants again by a second treatment at high temperature (John and Weintraub, 1966). Mechanical inoculation and grafting tests to various hosts and electron microscopy failed to reveal the presence of a virus in heated plants.
