Figure 2. Infection of Dianthus plants by wtALSV. (A) Dianthus seedling grown on soil. Yellow arrowheads indicated expanded true leaves in which gold particles were bombarded. Bar=10 mm. (B) wtALSV-infected plants at 30 days after post inoculation. Number of true leaves 2 to 8 were harvested and used for RNA extraction. Bar=20 mm. (C) RT-PCR assay of wtALSV infection to leaves of Dianthus ‘Telstar Picotee’ and ‘Telstar Crimson’. The 2 to 8 indicated the number of true leaves. An arrow indicates DNA products (360 bp). (D) Whole flower, gynoecium and sepal of ‘Telstar Crimson’ plants. Bars=10 mm. (E) RT-PCR assay of wtALSV infection to flower organs of ‘Telstar Crimson’ plants.
