SMV construct | Aphid transmission |
||
---|---|---|---|
Exp. 1 | Exp. 2 | Exp. 3 | |
Mock | 0/5* | 0/5 | 0/5 |
pSMV-G7H | 5/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 |
pSMV-MCS | 5/5 | 5/5 | 5/5 |
pSMV-Dual | 0/5 | 0/5 | 0/5 |
*Number of plants infected over number of plants inoculated by aphid-transmission. Virus infection was confirmed by RT-PCR using SMV-specific primers.
