Replicating vectors require lower Agrobacterium concentration for optimal expression. Leaves of N. benthamiana were agroinfiltrated with the GFP-expressing BeYDV vectors or the non-replicating vector pEAQ-HT-GFP at the indicated OD600 values. (A) Leaf spots were assayed for GFP production by SDS-PAGE followed by quantification of fluorescence band intensity by ImageJ software. (B) Leaf images under UV light or (C) visible light. (D) Protein extractions from leaf spots agroinfiltrated at the indicated OD600 values with a BeYDV vector expressing an HBc heterodimer were visualized by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie staining. Arrow indicates HBc heterodimer band. A representative mock-infiltrated protein extract from a different gel is shown at left for comparison. (∗∗∗) Indicates p < 0.01.
