The BNYVV ncRNA3 contributes to systemic movement of the BA2 mutant of the BNYVV VSR. Wild-type (WT) Nicotiana benthamiana were infected with RNA1 + 2 (12) or RNA1 + 2BA2 (12BA2) supplemented or not with RNA3 (123, 12BA23) or RNA3E (123E, 12BA23E). Viral RNA detection on upper leaves was performed at 21 dpi. Three independent experiments using specified numbers (N) of plants were performed, and statistical analyses were carried out using Fisher’s exact test. The p-values were obtained from the false discovery rate method. * p-value < 0.05 and *** p-value < 0.001.
