dpi, days post inoculation with PVY^N-GFP; WIPK silenced, six plants were agroinfiltrated with TRV construct for silencing WIPK gene and infected with PVY^N-GFP; Empty vector, six plants were agroinfiltrated with empty TRV construct and infected with PVY^N-GFP; Positive control, three plants were infected with PVY^N-GFP at the same time as WIPK silenced and empty vector plants; nd, not determined at this time point
