Abstract
EXPERIMENTS to determine the effects of infection with tobacco mosaic virus (Johnson's No. 1) on the nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism of tobacco leaves were made with a hundred plants grown in sand culture. Fifty plants when at the 8-leaf stage were infected artificially with pure virus. Groups of these and of the corresponding control plants were harvested 17, 27 and 40 days after infection.
