Mass of pollen tubes germinating from 1 mg of mature pollen. See Figure 4 for pollen phenotypes. Mean values ± SD are given. Non-transformed tobacco, AFCVd infected with the biolistic method; comparison with healthy controls. Not determined. Transformed/infected plants with the corresponding infectious plant vectors are shown; comparison with healthy controls.
