Figure 7

Movement of 10.6 amplicon-derived virus through graft junctions. Reciprocal grafts were made using wild type N. benthamiana and 10.6.1 transgenic plants. Rootstock and scion leaves of grafted plants consisting of a wild type scion on a 10.6.1 rootstock (A) and of 10.6.1 scion on a wild type rootstock that was inoculated with wild type PPV after grafting (B) are shown under UV light; pictures were taken at 22 (A) and 35 (B) days after grafting. The only small GFP spot detected in the 10.6.1.11 scion is indicated by an arrow. A picture of the graft junction of the R10.6.1.1/Swt plant is also shown. Note that the GFP is only visible on the wild type part of the stem and not in the transgenic. Scale bar: 0.5 cm.
