This document discusses the work of Dmitrii Ivanowski, a Russian botanist born in 1864. Some of his key contributions include being the first to describe the filterable nature of tobacco mosaic virus in 1892 and publishing studies in 1903 on mosaic disease of tobacco plants. He found that the sap of infected tobacco plants retained its infectious qualities even after being filtered, demonstrating that the causative agent was smaller than bacteria and able to pass through filters. This supported his conclusion that mosaic disease was caused by a filterable infectious agent rather than bacteria.

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, VNMKV, PARBHANI 431 402 (M.S.) Dmitrii Ivanowski (Iwanowsky) Born : 28 October 1864 Russian botanist 1890: Published first paper on TM Russian language Based on observations in Crimea 1894: Published on alcoholic fermentation 12/02/1892: Read paper before Academy of Science, St.-Pétersbourg Reported filterable nature of TMV Dmitrii Ivanowski (Iwanowsky) 1903: Published study on mosaic disease First to describe inclusion bodies Negri bodies: rabies (1903) Guarnieri bodies : small-pox (1894) 1914: Published on chlorophyll 1902-03: Head, Dept. of Botany, Royal University, Warsaw 1907: Professor, Plant Physiology Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant Dmitrii Ivanowski Described tobacco disease Collaboration with Mr. Polowzow Pock-disease (or pox-disease) Causes Announced supposition to Mayer Comprises two entirely different diseases Entirely different origin Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant Pock-disease: Second phase Non-infectious Brown spots, wide holes No traces of mosaic on young leaves Cause: restriction of transpiration Found in Datura stramonium, Hyoscyamus niger & many other plants of family Solanaceae (controversy with Mayer) Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant Mosaic disease: First phase Entirely independent Infectious Description correspond to Mayer Appearance of diseased plants Course of development of disease Distribution on plantation Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant Confirm Mayer’s work; Disease plants sap is infectious Heating disease plants sap to boiling point loses its infectious qualities. Absence of fungi & other parasites Infection through bacteria Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant Contradicted Mayer’s statement Mayer: sap of infected leaves loses all its infectious qualities after filtration through double filter paper Filtered extract introduced into healthy plants produces symptoms of disease just as surely as does unfiltered sap. Mayer: mosaic disease is caused by bacteria Double layer of filter paper cannot hold back bacteria But rather caused by fungi whose spores cannot pass through filter paper Concerning mosaic disease of tobacco plant Sap of infected leaves retained its infectious qualities even after filtration through Chamberland filter-candles. Assumption of toxin secreted by bacteria present or bacteria penetrated through pores of Chamberland filter-candles Dmitrii Ivanowski (Iwanowsky)
