Exactly. Naoki do you have any technical info on this?
no, Chad, virus is an extremely cool organism, but I have only basic knowledge. I would guess that if it is under high heat, most vidi would be broken down in the smoke. I recently bought a book, but I haven't read it yet.

I bought the original Japanese version, but the link has English version. It seems to be much more detailed than the AOS booklet. Some of you might be interested in it.
There are multiple strains of TMV, and I wonder if Nicotiana can have orchid type.
