Vitamin D Gone Viral?
| Division: | Earth & Environmental Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Western Manitoba | | City: | Brandon, MB | | School: | New Era | | Abstract: | This project studied the effect of Vitamin D on viruses. Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) symptoms were recorded on tomato plants grown in TMV infected soil and watered with Vitamin D3 solution. There were less symptoms in plants watered with Vitamin D3 indicating an effect on the growth of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Symptoms continued to decrease as the amount of Vitamin D increased. |
