Figure 4. TMV infection and StRDR1 transcript accumulation in StRDR1-depleted transgenic potato plants.

(a) RTqPCR was used to determine the relative level of TMV coat protein (CP) RNA (a) in inoculated leaves of non-transformed (NT) and transgenic Line 1.3 plants at 7 days post-inoculation (dpi). RNA was also extracted from mock-inoculated leaves. In each of three independent experiments, TMV CP RNA accumulation in transgenic samples was normalized to that in the non-transformed control. In only one experiment was any significant increase in CP accumulation noted (p = 0.007: *) (b) RTqPCR was used to measure accumulation, relative to that mock-inoculated non-transformed plant, of RDR1 in mock-inoculated and TMV-inoculated plants at 7 dpi in inoculated, mock-inoculated leaves and upper non-inoculated leaves. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
