Evaluation of CGMMV-VIGS efficiency in three cucurbits. A Photobleaching phenotype of ridge gourd, cucumber, and bottle gourd after silencing the PDS genes with the CGMMV-VIGS vector. B The earliest time at which photobleaching occurred in three cucurbits. (C) Number of photobleached plants and treated plants in the three cucurbits. D and E The relative expression of the PDS gene after CGMMV-VIGS recombinant vector was agroinfiltrated into cucumber and bottle gourd leaves. Error bar indicates SE. ** indicates significant difference (P < 0.01)
