Fig. 1From: Small RNA derived from Tobacco mosaic virus targets a host C2-domain abscisic acid-related (CAR) 7-like protein genevsiRNA derived from the UPD region of TMV genome was detected in TMV-infected N. benthamiana plants. a vsiRNA generated from nt 6285 to nt 6306 in TMV positive-sense strand was termed as TMV-vsiRNA 22 nt (6285–6306). It showed the highest read counts of 9787 (read box) in all TMV-UPD-vsiRNAs. b The exact nucleotide positions of TMV-vsiRNA 22 nt (6285–6306) sequence, which was mapped to the juxtaposition of UPD and TLS. c Northern blot analysis showed that TMV-vsiRNA 22 nt (6285–6306) was detected in TMV-infected N. benthamiana plants at 4 dpi but not in mock plants. U6 stands for U6 snRNA used as loading controlBack to article page
