Fig. 5From: A cassava common mosaic virus vector for virus-induced gene silencing in cassavaSilencing of PDS and ChlI genes in Nicotiana benthamiana using the pCsCMV-PDS487 and pCsCMV-ChlI345. a Silencing phenotypes in N. benthamiana using the pCsCMV-PDS487 and pCsCMV-ChlI345 at 25 dpi. b RT-qPCR analyses of PDS and ChlI mRNA expression in N. benthamiana infected with pCsCMV-PDS487, pCsCMV-ChlI345 and pCsCMV-NC. Satistical tests were performed using Student’s t test, compared with plants infected with non-target control pCsCMV-NC (**P < 0.01). Three independent experiments were performed and each included six plants per treatment group. Error bars indicate the SDBack to article page
