Accumulation of dcl2 transcripts in response to different hypoviruses. The relative levels of dcl2 transcripts were measured by semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR for uninfected strain EP155 and strain EP155 infected by CHV-1/EP713, CHV-1/Euro7, CHV-1/EP721, their corresponding Δp29 mutants, and the chimeric CHV-1/EP713 and CHV-1EP721 viruses containing the swapped p29 coding domains 713/721p29 and 721/713p29, as indicated at the bottom. The values on the y axis were normalized to the dcl2 transcript level in uninfected strain EP155, set to a value of 1.
