Nicotiana glutinosa is a species of tobacco plant that is economically important in tobacco hybrids. N. glutinosa is native to western South America, including Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is a model organism for the study of Tobacco mosaic virus resistance in tobacco.[2][3]
N. glutinosa is a Dicotyledon and is from the family of Solanaceae.[4] The use of N. glutinosa in tobamoviruses allowed for the death of lesions within the plant.[5] They are a C3 photosynthesizing plant and are a photoautotroph.[6] They are hosts to the Ageratum leaf curl virus.[6] This species is eaten by potato tuberworms.[7] Other synonyms of N.glutinosa include Blenocoes longiflora Raf., Nicotiana militaris L., and Tabacus viscidus Moench.[8]
