Tobacco rattle virus-mediated silencing of PDS, HY5, and PIF3 in tomato leaves. (A) Phenotypes of tomato leaves following infiltration with different VIGS constructs: I, Empty vector; II, TRV-PDS; III, TRV-HY5; IV, TRV-PIF3. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR measurement of PDS, HY5, and PIF3 mRNA. Data are the mean ± standard deviation of three biological replicates. PDS, phytoene desaturase; HY5, transcription factor LONG HYPOCOTYL5; PIF3, Phytochrome Interacting Factor 3. Student's t-test was used to assess whether the silenced plants differed significantly from wild-type plants: *P-value < 0.05; **P-value < 0.01. Oligonucleotides used are shown in Table S1.
