Correlation of the levels of resistance to Watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV) of artificial microRNA (amiRNA) transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants with the expression levels of amiRNA. (A) Expression levels of amiRNA before inoculation of amiR‐LD (1, 27 and 33) and amiR‐LB2DC (8, 9 and 20) transgenic lines. The relative expression levels of amiRNAs in transgenic lines were compared with the expression level in agro‐infiltrated tissue, arbitrarily set as 100. (B) Symptoms at 14 days after WSMoV inoculation. In each section of (B), a WSMoV‐inoculated transgenic plant (centre) is flanked by a WSMoV‐infected nontransgenic (NT) control plant (left) and a mock‐inoculated transgenic plant (right). I/T (as defined in Table 2) represents the results at 14 days post‐inoculation.
