PoPeVYVaRNA is responsible for the synergism with PoPeVYV in N. benthamiana. (A) The PoPeVYVaRNA mutant infectious clones prepared. (B) Relative fold changes of PoPeVYV in local leaves of N. benthamiana co-inoculated with PoPeVYVaRNA or mutants of PoPeVYVaRNA (pCB301-MD as control), as shown by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR. The means (±SE) were calculated from the RNA levels of six individual plants at 3 days post inoculation. (C) Phenotype of N. benthamiana plants agroinfiltrated with viral infectious clone combinations or empty agrobacterium (CK) at 14 days post infiltration. RT-PCR confirming the presence of viral RNAs in local/systemic leaves of inoculated plants. 1, negative control; 2, positive control; 3, CK; 4, PoPeVYV + pCB301-MD; 5, PoPeVYV + PoPeVYVaRNA-orf1a; 6, PoPeVYV + PoPeVYVaRNA-orf1b; 7, PoPeVYV + PoPeVYVaRNA-orf1ab; 8, PoPeVYV + PoPeVYVaRNA.
