Influence of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS)-inducing treatment for six genes on growth and development of N. benthamiana plants. Genes subjected to VIGS analyses encoded (A–C) a proteasome 20S beta 1.1 subunit (NbPb, 19), (D) a luminal-binding protein (NbBiP, 58), (E, F) a SIPK type MAP kinase (Nbf4, b12), (G, H) an asparagine synthetase (NbAsn, b48), (I) an ASR (Abscissic acid, Stress, Ripening) protein (NbASR, b67), and (J) a chloroplast thiazole biosynthetic protein (NbTHI, b73). Plants were infiltrated with cell suspensions of Agrobacterium transformed with TRV VIGS vector carrying a fragment of the target gene or just empty vector (EV; K, L). The photographs were taken 12 days (A, B), 14 days (D, K), 19 days (C), 21 days (G, J), 30 days (I, L), and 42 days (E, F, H) after agroinfiltration. Spot numbers at bottom right are as given in Supplementary Table S3.
