Finally, a single "infective virus particle" may, at least for certain possible sites of infection, be able to act as an effective inoculum. Until the advent and development of the electron microscope some 20 years ago, the properties of infective virus particles had to be inferred from various kinds of observations and experiments; the surprising accuracy of many or even most of these inferences has since been proved by "the evidence of things seen" under the electron microscope. B. Effective and Ineffective Inoculum Despite the efforts of a few outstanding investigators, who were the sole pioneers in earlier centuries, the origins of plant pathology as an organized science can be traced back to just over a century ago.

Musarum resumed activity; infection developed at first intercellularly and then intracellularly to give the characteristic superficial lesion of anthracnose. Chakravarty compared germination of G. musarum conidia in the juice expressed from skins of green and yellow bananas respectively; she found that the juice of green skins exercised an inhibiting effect which, by reference to the earlier work of Barnell and Barnell (1945) she ascribed to tannin. Such latent infections have an important bearing on the practical problem of disease control, as demonstrated by Wade (1956) for brown rot of apricots caused by Sclerotinia fructicola.

Indeed, the history of root disease investigation abounds with illustrations of the precept that, in experimental work, it is advisable to begin by creating artificial situations as similar to the natural situation as the requirements of experimentation will permit.
