The virus causes abnormal cellular function that usually does not kill the plant but stunts growth. Infected plants may have brittle stems, abnormally small, curled leaves, and unripened fruit. ... TMV is spread through small wounds caused by handling, insects, or broken leaf hairs that result from leaves rubbing together.

Malnutrition manifests itself in the form of micronutrient deficiencies, stunting (also known as chronic malnutrition), and/or acute malnutrition. Acute malnutrition is a form of under-nutrition caused by a decrease in food consumption and/or illness that results in sudden weight loss or oedema (fluid retention).

In humans, this condition is caused by over-production of growth hormone in childhood, resulting in people 7 to 9 ft (2.1 to 2.7 m) in height. It is a rare disorder resulting from increased levels of growth hormone before the fusion of the growth plate which usually occurs at some point soon after puberty.

They don't need to grow larger. If they were any larger, they're would lose their main meal; us. They get inside our cells, transform them to reproduce viruses and such, and cause us to get sick. If they were to grow any larger, they would not have a way inside our cells to "eat" us.

Infection with TMV strain PV230 severely impaired photosynthetic acclimation at high light/low nitrogen and during transfer from low to high light. ... These data show that TMV does not simply impair photoacclimation in tobacco by competing with chloroplasts for leaf nitrogen reserves.

TMAU, or trimethylaminuria, causes a body odor as well as bad breath. TMAU affects the body's ability to process choline, which is found in eggs, broccoli, beans, and legumes. When choline isn't properly broken down, it causes a buildup of trimethylamine.

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus species in the genus Tobamovirus that infects a wide range of plants, especially tobacco and other members of the family Solanaceae.

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD), also known as dwarfism or pituitary dwarfism, is a condition caused by insufficient amounts of growth hormone in the body. Children with GHD have abnormally short stature with normal body proportions. GHD can be present at birth (congenital) or develop later (acquired).

Junk Food. We all know that a diet that is heavy on junk food can lead to a host of problems for children such as diabetes and obesity, but junk food can also stunt growth. Junk food lacks the proper nutrients that children need to develop fully.

One study has claimed that ZMA could boost testosterone, strength, muscle mass and recovery time after exercise. Some have theorised that this is due to the supplement correcting a deficiency in zinc and magnesium that can lead to reduced testosterone levels in the body.

Pygmies are short, not because they do not produce enough growth hormone, but because their plasma membrane growth hormone receptors are faulty and cannot interact with growth hormone.

Some excessive hair growth does not fit the pattern of growth triggered by androgen hormones (for example, hair between the eyes, on the forehead, on the temples or high on the cheeks of the face). This hair growth, called hypertrichosis, can be caused by thyroid problems or by anorexia nervosa.

TMV most likely moves from cell-to-cell as a complex of the RNA, P30, and replicate proteins. ... Although TMV does not have defined transmission vectors, the virus can be easily transmitted from the infected hosts to the healthy plants, by human handling.
