stonny Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I know this isn't a medical science question, but it's to closest to virology I could find. So, does anybody know how tobacco mosaic virus gets past the cell membrane, and what happens to the newly assembled virions. (viral RNA gets passed to other cells via the plasmodesmata, but I can't firgure out what the virions do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am not sure whether this has been resolved yet. Last time I read about it pinocytosis was discussed, but ectodesmata and even "wounds" in the membrane were also likely entry points. Again, AFAIK none of this have been proven.
