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.
