  Since the discovery of plant virus, it has great impact on plant sciences and human society. Therefore, to understand this new pathogen it was characterized at biochemical, structural, and molecular level. Many analytical research techniques were developed over the period to reveal the mystery of plant viruses. In this review, we presented the development of plant virus research in different phases. The 1st or early phase of research described the discovery of plant viruses as a new pathogens, 2nd biological phase described the mode of virus spread and its relation with the vector, 3rd biochemical and biophysical phase described how to purify and characterize the plant viruses, 4th molecular biology phases described the heredity and other functions at molecular level, 5th molecular genetics described the position and function of individual genes of viral genome, gene cloning and gene ..
