Figure 1From: Efficient virus-induced gene silencing in apple, pear and Japanese pear using Apple latent spherical virus vectorsVIGS of rbcS gene in apple by ALSV vector infection. (A) Leaf chlorosis in an apple seedling infected with rbcS201-ALSV (left) and normal seedlings infected with wtALSV 45 days post inoculation (dpi). (B) Northern blot hybridization analysis of rbcS- mRNA (a), ALSV-RNAs (b) and rbcS-siRNAs (c) from leaves of the apple seedlings infected with rbcS201-ALSV. Lane 1, healthy control; lane 2, wtALSV-infected leaves; lanes 3-6, the apple seedlings infected with rbcS201-ALSV.Back to article page
