Test for mechanical transmission of watermelon crinkle leaf-associated virus 1 (WCLaV-1) to watermelon. (A,B) RT-PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis to detect infected watermelon leaves. (A) At 17 days post-inoculation (dpi), only sample No. 4 was infected; (B) detection of systematic infection in four leaves of sample No. 4 using two primer pairs in RT-PCR. Symptom development over time (C–E). (C) Crinkling at 17 dpi; (D) mosaic and stunt at 42 dpi compared with the non-inoculated plant and close ups of symptoms; (E) curling and mosaic at 67 dpi. M, DNA Marker DL2000 (Takara); PC, positive control; NC, uninfected watermelon control; WC, water control.
