Essentially the same techniques as were employed previously for the culture of N. tabacum were used for N. glutinosa,(1). Details will be published in a later communication. Calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate were replaced by the corresponding sodium salts, magnesium sulfate was replaced by the chloride, and the iron salt was omitted to induce deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and iron, respectively. Five magnesium-defieiency experiments and four each of the other deficiency experiments were performed, with 32 to 80 plants per experiment. The experiments were carried out from 1952-54 atdifferent seasons of the year. All plants in a particular experiment were inoculated after pronounced, characteristic deficiency symptoms (2) had developed. Calcium and magnesium deficiencies had no apparent influence on the size of subsequently formed local lesions. Both iron and sulfur deficiencies, however, consistently produced larger lesions than those that developed on control leaves, by a factor of two to three estimated visually. Samuel (3) observed that the response of N. glutinosa to infection by tobacco mosaic virus was markedly influenced by temperature. Local lesion size in-creased by increasing the temperature to 350C; above this temperature no necrosis was observed, and systemic infection occurred. McKinney and Clayton (4) noted the production of mosaic symptoms at high temperatures in Nicotiana spp. carrying the factor for necrosis at 75 F, which agrees with Samuel's findings. On N. glutinosa, tomato bushy stunt virus produces largert local lesions on young leaves than on old leaves (5). Apparently, on thebasis of our findings, mineral nutrition can also influence lesion size. In addition, if increased lesion size in general represents a tendency toward systemic infection, mineral nutrition may affect the spread of plant viruses in a heretofore un-recognized manner.
