TABLE 2.

Estimated copy number of cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) in different parts of infected cotton plants.

Part of the plant		Estimated copy number per ng of total RNA
Underground	Roots	1.78 × 105
Lower plant parts	Main stem	5.01 × 105
	Branches	4.47 × 105
	Petioles	2.63 × 103
	Fruit bracts and skin	2.00 × 103
Upper plant parts	Main stem	8.91 × 105
	Branches	6.15 × 106
	Petioles	1.58 × 105
	Fruit bracts and skin	1.26 × 104

Note: Values are averages from eight CLRDV‐infected plants as determined by reverse transcription‐PCR. Samples from each plant were run in triplicate.
