FIGURE 3.
Silencing efficiency of the SlRboh genes in silenced plants. Two-week-old plants were infiltrated with agrobacteria harboring TRV2-SlRbohA-H or TRV2-GUS and leaf samples were collected at 3 weeks after VIGS infiltration. The silencing efficiency was calculated by comparing the transcript levels of the SlRboh genes in TRV2-SlRbohs-infiltrated plants with those in TRV2-GUS-infiltrated plants, which were set as 1. Data presented are the means ± SD from three independent experiments and ** above the columns indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 level.
