Figure 8. Mortality in P. citri adults and crawlers on plants inoculated with different recombinant TMV constructs.

Figure 8

Comparison of corrected mortality in adult P. citri and crawlers following 18 days after release of insects onto plants inoculated with the following viral constructs: HC: healthy control N. benthamiana plant; TMV-GFP  =  TMV carrying GFP (TMV JL24); TMV  =  TMV with no insert (pJL36); TMV-Actin  =  part of the actin RNA inserted into TMV; TMV-CHS1-S and TMV-CHS1-AS  =  the chitin synthase 1 (CHS1) RNA fragment inserted into TMV in sense and antisense orientations, respectively; TMV-V-ATPase-S and TMV-V-ATPase-AS  =  the V-ATPase RNA fragment inserted into TMV in sense and antisense orientations, respectively. Numbers indicated with the same letter are homogenous groups at p<0.05.
