Tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, and loose pipe tobacco, contain the dried, processed leaves of the tobacco plant Nicotiana rustica or Nicotiana tabacum. All forms of tobacco contain nicotine, an extremely addictive drug that can act as both a central nervous system stimulant and depressant. In addition to nicotine, tobacco contains thousands of other chem...

Antibody based products are not widely available to address multiple global health challenges due to high costs, limited manufacturing capacity, and long manufacturing lead times. Nicotiana-based manufacturing of antibody products may now begin to address these challenges as a result of revolutionary advances in transient expression and altered glycosylation pathways. This review provides examp...

Hybrid lethality is expressed at 28°C in the cross Nicotiana nudicaulis × N. tabacum. The S subgenome of N. tabacum has been identified as controlling this hybrid lethality. To clarify the responsible genomic factor(s) of N. nudicaulis, we crossed N. trigonophylla (paternal progenitor of N. nudicaulis) with N. tabacum, because hybrids between N. sylvestris (maternal progenitor of N. nudicaulis)...

A filamentous 750 to 800 nm long virus was isolated from a fig tree with conspicuous symptoms in Yugoslavia. The virus has a very narrow host range; it was transmitted mechanically only to some Nicotiana species including N. megalosiphon and N. sylvestris. It causes the formation of cylindrical cytoplasmic inclusions in infected Nicotiana cells. The inclusions consist of pin-wheels, scrolls and...

Previous experiments with tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Samsun NN) plants revealed that jasmonic acid methyl ester (JAME) induces the expression of a cytoplasmic/nuclear lectin in leaf cells and provided the first evidence that jasmonates affect the expression of carbohydrate-binding proteins in plant cells. To corroborate the induced accumulation of relatively large amounts of a cytoplasmic...
