Agroinfiltration of different infectious clones in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana Domin.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants (a) CpCDV (mastrevirus) (b) CLCuKoV-Bu with CLCuMB (begomovirus and betasatellite) (c) mastrebegomo chimeric virus.
PCR amplification of CLCuKoV-Bu -CP gene. Lane 1 shows no band visualized from infected tobacco plants. Lanes 2-3 shows ~ 771 bp CP gene of CLCuKoV-Bu in whiteflies and tomato plants, respectively. Lane M, 1kbp DNA ladder.
PCR amplification of full length genome of CLCuKoV-Bu. Lane M, 1kbp DNA ladder. Lanes 1-2, 2753 bp fragment of CLCuKoV-Bu full length fragment amplified by using BurFL-F and BurFL-R specific primers in whiteflies and infected tomato plants respectively. Lane 3, No CLCuKoV-Bu full length fragment is amplified from symptomatic tobacco plants.
