Burley tobacco, the kind grown by my great-grandmother Zelma in Kentucky, is harvested as a whole stalk cut at the base and then naturally air dried in the field or in a barn.

Chinese cabbage leaf blade and leaf stalk of Brassica Chinensis systematically infected with Ribgrass Mosaic virus was separately made by the freezing cut transection.
