Table 4 Comparison between copy number values as estimated by real-time PCR and Southern blotting. The results of estimates of TSWV-N transgene copy number obtained with real-time PCR are compared with those derived from Southern analysis, either limited to one restriction enzyme (KpnI) or extended to several ones.
