Spreading of miRNA-triggered silencing from phloem companion cells. (A) SUC2:amiR-SUL and SUC2:siR-SUL plants present similar bleaching patterns. (B) UV-induced red chlorophyll autofluorescence is suppressed in bleached areas, which appear light green in a SUC2:amiR-SUL leaf. Arrows point to leaf veins. (C) SUC2:amiR-SUL SUC2:3xYFP leaf. Top, visible light; bottom, UV fluorescence. Bright green YFP signal is more restricted than the bleached areas that are dark. (D) Comparison of mild and severely bleached plants. A single leaf is shown in detail. (E) sRNA blots probed with an oligonucleotide specific for amiR-SUL (SUL) or a CH42 fragment (CH42 frag). U6 was used as loading control.
