a
Number of infected plants versus inoculated plants.
b
The mean enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) values correspond to infected plants only and mock‐inoculated plants, or, in the case of N. benthamiana challenged with BMYV‐EK, noninfected plants.
c
χ 2 test was used to compare the inoculation method.
d
Mann–Whitney test was applied to compare the infectivity potential.
P, P > 0.05 refers to a nonsignificant difference; Na, not applicable.
