Effect of different treatments on aphid transmission of CaMV and TuMV. (A,B) Effect of the ROS H2O2 and the calcium channel blocker LaCl3 on plant-to-plant transmission of CaMV (A). Turnip leaves were sprayed with 10 mM H2O2 or LaCl3 solutions or water and incubated for 30 min before transmission tests. (B) Effect of wounding on plant-to-plant transmission of TuMV and CaMV. Turnip leaves were wounded by inflicting cuts with a razor blade and immediately used for transmission. (C) Effect of the thiol reducing agent NEM on protoplast-to-plant transmission of CaMV. Protoplasts were incubated with 3 mM NEM for 20 min before the transmission tests. (D) Effect of azide on protoplast-to-plant transmission of TuMV. Protoplasts were incubated with 0.02% azide for 40 min and then employed in transmission assays. For all transmission tests, means of infected test plants are calculated from a pool of three independent experiments (see Materials and Methods). p designates p-values obtained in generalized linear models. Each graph shows medians and quartiles. The whiskers represent sample ranges. The open circles show the outlier samples. We verified that NEM and azide treatment of protoplasts did not change protoplast viability (Supplementary Source file 2). The raw data of the transmission tests are presented in Supplementary Source file 3.
