Table 2. Efficiency of HhCLA1 gene silencing in Hibiscus hamabo using TRV-VIGS system at three weeks post agroinfiltration.
Treatment | Number of plants assayed | Silencing efficiency* |
---|---|---|
pTRV2-HhCLA1 | 52 | 45/52 (87%) |
Mock | 8 | 0/8 (0%) |
Control | 8 | 0/8 (0%) |
Notes.
Silencing efficiency indicates the number of plants showing silencing phenotypes/number of plants treated by TRV-VIGS system.
