In 1886, Adolf Mayer first described the tobacco mosaic disease that could be transferred between plants, similar to bacterial infections.
Wendell Meredith Stanley in 1935 who showed that TMV remains active even after crystallization. Tobacco mosaic virus was the first virus to be crystallized. It was achieved by
Howard Martin Temin (December 10, 1934 - February 9, 1994) was a U.S. geneticist. Along with Renato Dulbecco and David Baltimore, he discovered reverse transcriptase in the 1970s.
