Efficiency of CaPAO gene-silencing in pepper plants. a Phenotypes of gene-silenced pepper plants 45 d after inoculation. Left: control plant (TRV2:00); middle: CaPDS-silenced plant (TRV2: CaPDS); right: CaPAO-silenced plant (TRV2: CaPAO). b Quantitative real time-PCR analysis of CaPAO expression levels in leaves of CaPAO-silenced plants (TRV2: CaPAO1, TRV2: CaPAO2 and TRV2: CaPAO3) and control plants (TRV2:00) 45 d after inoculation. Error bars represent SD for three independent replicates. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05) compared to TRV2:00 leaves
