Disease symptoms induced by RSV infection in WT, <i>NS3</i> OX, and <i>mNS3</i> OX rice lines.

Abstract

<p>(A) Images of whole plants and details showing stunted or folded-leaf phenotypes of the wild-type, <i>NS3</i> OX#1, <i>NS3</i> OX#7, <i>mNS3</i> OX#1 and <i>mNS3</i> OX#4 rice plants. Scale bars = 15 cm (upper panel) and 5 cm (lower panel). (B) Detection of the RSV <i>CP</i> gene by RT-PCR. (C) Time course of RSV symptom development in the WT and <i>NS3</i> OX or <i>mNS3</i> OX transgenic plants. Values represent the percentage of RSV-infected plants at various days post inoculation (dpi). Thirty plants were used for each treatment. **, <i>P</i> ≤ 0.01. Average (± SD) values from three biological replicates are shown.</p
