Appearance of Plants Infected with PVX Transcripts.

(A) Shown left to right are a PVX control plant, a PVX–NtCesA-2 plant, a PVX–NtCesA-1b plant, and a PVX–NtCesA-1a plant. The severe stunting of the PVX–NtCesA-1 plants is evident.

(B) Shown left to right are the abaxial surfaces of fully expanded leaves from PVX control, PVX–NtCesA-1b, and PVX–NtCesA-1a plants. The interveinal regions of PVX control leaves are relatively smooth.

(C) Shown is the abaxial surface of the PVX–NtCesA-1b leaf. A pronounced “lumpy” appearance is evident. The texture of leaves from PVX–NtCesA-1 plants was very “crisp” compared with controls.
