Fig 12. Silencing of MeASLBD47 in cassava plants using a cassava common mosaic virus (Cscmv)-based Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system.

(a) Validation of the silencing efficiency of MeASLBD by qRT-PCR, pCsCMV-NC represents an empty vector. (b) The phenotypes of the cassava leaf infected with XamCHN11 following inoculation with pCsCMV-AS2/LOB47 or empty vector (pCsCMV-NC), 10 mM MgCl2 (mock for XamCHN11). The lesion area of cassava leaves was calculated using the ImageJ tool at 200 pixels/cm. (c) Differential expression of target genes in the WGCNA network upon silencing of MeASLBD47. “*”: significantly different.
