Figure 8. The Fny2a protein induces anti-aphid resistance in transgenic plants.

Figure 8

Growth rate of individual aphids feeding on transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing one or two Fny-CMV proteins and non-transgenic (NT) plants, n≥24. Transgene expression was driven by the constitutive cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. The CMV proteins expressed were the 1a (replicase component), 2a (replicase component), 2b (viral suppressor of RNA silencing), movement protein (MP), and coat protein (CP). Lines indicated by 2b/1a are double transgenic harboring 1a and 2b transgenes. The 2b-transgenic lines 2.30F and 3.13F were constructed by Lewsey et al. [31]. Different letters (a-c) are assigned to statistically different results (ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s tests, P<0.05). Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
