Abstract
In particular instances the presence of virus in plant tissue may be detected by electrophoretic analysis of the extracted cytoplasmic proteins. The virus protein appears as a new cytoplasmic protein component not present in the tissues of healthy plants. The electrophoretic method is sufficiently sensitive to detect even those viruses present in relatively small amounts in the plant and also to demonstrate the presence of virus protein before the onset of visible disease symptoms.

In 1944 he became senior fellow in research, Biology Division, California Institute of Technology. Dr. Bonner (Ph.D., Cal Tech, 1934) is a plant physiologist who has been professor of biology at Cal Tech since 1946. Their article is based on an address given before the Botanical Society of America during the 1949 Meeting of the AAAS, and the work it describes was supported in part by the Herman Frasch Foundation for Agricultural Research and in part by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Miss Jean Campbell supplied the electrophoresis analyses.Additional details
