Autophagy activation in response to TYLCCNV infection. (A) Accumulation of TYLCCNV CP and autophagy activation in whiteflies which were infected for 6 h and transferred to cotton for 0 to 120 h. (B) TYLCCNV DNA was detected by qPCR (significant differences are indicated with different letters, P < 0.05). (C) Midguts of viruliferous whiteflies were dissected, fixed and labeled with anti-ATG8 antibodies. The formation of autophagosomes (red) was monitored in TYLCCNV-infected guts from 0 to 120 h.
