Case Study 2: Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV)
TMV Effects on Plant Growth
Cellular Damage
Virus disrupts cell function and chloroplast structure
Reduced Chlorophyll
Light and dark patches show chlorophyll loss
Poor Photosynthesis
Less glucose production for energy and growth
Stunted Growth
Reduced energy leads to smaller, weaker plants
