Agroinoculation infectivity assay of cDNA clone on N. benthamiana. (A) Construction of infectious cDNA clone. Whole viral genome was cloned using fragments A and B digested with StuI, NcoI and SalI and ligated with StuI-SalI digested pCB301 vector, 2 × 35S: promoter, RZ: ribozyme, NOS: teminator. (B) Confirmation of the constructs obtained by PCR, M5: DL 5 000 DNA marker, 1: pEASYT5-A, 2: pEASYT5-B, 3: pCB301-WLYaV. (C) Symptoms on infected N. benthamiana 4 weeks after infiltration of lower 3~4 leaves; upper leaves are systemically infected. Left: inoculated with pCB301 as negative control, no obvious symptoms; right: inoculated with pCB301-WLYaV, stunted plants have leaf yellowing. (D) Detection of WLYaV in N. benthamiana by RT-PCR 14 days post-inoculation, M2: DL 2 000 DNA marker, 17/24 plants were positive, NC: negative control (pCB301-inoculated N. benthamiana), PC: positive control (JN-U3), +: exhibiting yellowing symptom.
