Figure 1. Observed intra-host dynamics of four PVY variants.
A: Description of the four PVY variants used (NN, NH, DN and DH). Variants are named according to the amino acids at positions 119 and 121 of the VPg pathogenicity factor. All variants infect the pepper genotype Yolo Wonder (YW) but only DH infects the genotype Florida VR2 which carries the pvr22 resistance gene. B–F: Frequencies of the four PVY variants in the eight plant samples collected 6, 10, 15, 24 and 35 dpi. Additionally, for each date, a bar with the mean frequencies of the variants for the eight samples is provided. G: Mean (± standard deviation) frequencies of the four PVY variants as a function of time (dpi). H: Standard deviation of the frequencies of the four PVY variants as a function of time (dpi).
