, Symptoms in C. annuum ‘Bukang’ inoculated with CMV-Fny, CMV-P1, and CMV RNA1 chimeras. Cotyledons were inoculated using sap from infected N. benthamiana. The photographs were taken at 21 days post-inoculation. B, Accumulation of CMV coat protein in inoculated leaves and systemic leaves of peppers was detected using ELISA. Two leaf discs of the inoculated cotyledons and the non-inoculated leaves from each plant were sampled at 21 days post-inoculation. Three independent experiments were each performed in triplicate. ^aAverage of absorbance value and standard errors.
