VIGS triggers target-specific knockdown of root-expressed ABC transporter genes in tomato. (A) The mean ratio of ABC-C6 abundance relative to the endogenous control gene, elongation factor 1 subunit alpha (EF-α), following blunt syringe inoculation of A. tumefaciens and pTRV plasmids. (B) The mean ratio of ABC-C6 abundance relative to the endogenous control gene following topical application of A. tumefaciens and pTRV plasmids. (C) The mean ratio of ABC-G33 abundance relative to the endogenous control gene following blunt syringe inoculation of A. tumefaciens and pTRV plasmids. (D) The mean ratio of ABC-G33 abundance relative to the endogenous control gene following topical application of A. tumefaciens and pTRV plasmids. Data represent three biological replicates sampled on day 21 post-inoculation, with each replicate consisting of three plants each; error bars represent SEM. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD tests were used to assess statistical significance between groups (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
