PSTVd infectivity in DCL1.13(x)4.9i and DCL4.9(x)3.10i plants.

Abstract

<p>(A) Representative northern blots of DCL1.13(x)4.9i and DC4.9(x)3.10i PSTVd infected plants at 3wpi. Hybridizations were performed with DIG labeled (-) RNA strand of PSTVd, and total RNA staining (methylene blue) was used as internal loading control. (B) Graphical presentation of the infectivity quantification of PSTVd. Quantification was made using Quantity One 4.4.1 software. Student <i>t</i>-test was performed and significance level was set to p<0.05 (*). ‘n’ stands for the number of individual plants tested.</p
