Playing with the Interaction of Viruses with Plant Metabolism in the Mid-1950s: Reminiscences
By : Govindjee Govindjee
Page No: 159-165
Abstract
In this historical paper, I present my involvement and stories, with photographs, during the mid-1950s, on research on the effects of virus infection on the amino-acid metabolism of various plants (Croton, tobacco, and many others), using a novel multi-sector circular paper chromatography method. This research, including the one published in Nature (London), done in the laboratory of S. Ranjan, with M.M. Laloraya, T. Rajarao, and Rajni Varma, is then related to those done by others.
