Bamboo mosaic virus before that. The natural host of this virus is bamboo. It is known to infect at least 12 different species in 7 different genera. In host range studies it has been shown to cause local lesions on "Chenopodium amaraticolor" and "Gomphrena globosa" and a systemic infection in barley ("Hordeum vulgare"), another member of the grass family, "Poaceae" or "Gramineae". Symptoms in bamboo include chlorotic mottling/mosaic patterns on the leaves which run parallel with the veins (Typical symptoms on leaves), necrotic streaking on the shoots and stem abortion. However, not all susceptible plants show recognizable symptoms. Bamboo mosaic virus "Bamboo mosaic
History of model organisms had been until then invisibly killing tobacco plants across England. It was Stanley who would accomplish this task first by changing the pH to one a more acidic one. In doing so he was able to conclude that the virus was either a protein or closely related to one, thus benefiting experimental research. There are very important reasons why these new, much smaller organisms such as the Tobacco Mosaic Virus and "E. coli" made their way into the molecular biologists’ laboratories. Organisms like "Drosophila" and "Tribolium" were much too large and too complex for the simple quantitative experiments that men
