Stable co‐expression of Ve1 and Ave1 does not affect Arabidopsis viability. (A) No phenotypical alterations were observed in plants that co‐expressed Ve1 and Ave1 when compared with plants that expressed either of the transgenes alone or nontransgenic control plants. Arabidopsis plants were grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium in a growth chamber at 22 °C or 16 °C, or on soil in the glasshouse. (B) Reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) was performed to confirm the expression of Ve1 and Ave1 in the transgenic lines.
