Transgenic potato plants display specific resistance to Potato virus Y (PVY). PVYN and PVYN :O accumulation in transgenic Solanum tuberosum plants was assessed 25 dpi by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) (a and c) and quantitative reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction assays (b and d). Potato virus S (PVS) (e) and Potato virus A (PVA) (f) accumulation in transgenic S. tuberosum lines was assessed at 25 dpi by ELISA. Error bars represent SE. Data represent three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (*P < 0.05, independent‐samples t‐test). (g) Alignment of the CP‐sgRNA‐binding sequence from PVYO with the corresponding regions in the coat protein (CP)‐encoding genes of PVA and PVS. The CP‐sgRNA designed to target PVY shows low sequence similarity to the CP region of PVA and PVS. Shading denotes nucleotides conserved in two viruses, asterisks mark nucleotides conserved in all three viruses.
