Characteristic symptoms on Arabidopsis thaliana Col‐0. (A) Symptoms following agroinfiltration of bacterial mixtures containing pGC‐RNA1, pGC‐RNA3 and each of the movement protein (MP) constructs. (B) Symptoms following mechanical inoculation of wild‐type or mutant constructs, using sap obtained from Nicotiana benthamiana agroinfiltrated plants. Plants inoculated with MP constructs pGC‐MP97, pGC‐MP98, pGC‐MP149, pGC‐MP150 and pGC‐MP169 showed no symptoms, whereas yellowing and necrosis were observed for the other constructs. Photographs were taken at 18 days post‐inoculation (dpi) (A) and 10 dpi (B).
