Fig. 6From: Small RNA derived from Tobacco mosaic virus targets a host C2-domain abscisic acid-related (CAR) 7-like protein geneAlignment of nucleotide sequences of Nb-CAR7 and other CAR7 genes in tobacco plants. The CAR7 gene showed high similarity among tobacco plants, indicating that it is a conserved gene, and implying that the TMV-vsiRNA 22 nt (6285–6306) would be able to target CAR7 gene in other tobacco plants to counterwork host defense responses after infectionBack to article page
