source plants (n = 11 per accession and per treatment). (C) Transmission rate, i.e., mean proportion of infected receptor plants (n = 9 receptor plants per source plant, 11 source plants per accession and per treatment). Data are from experiment 1 and 2 (experiment 1, n = 13; experiment 2, n = 12 accessions). Accessions are ordered by virulence level under well-watered conditions. Bars and error bars are means ± se of plant grown under CaMV-infected:WW (light gray bars) and CaMV-infected:WD (black bars) treatments at 30 dpi. (A), all differences between watering treatments are significant but Bea-0 (n.s.: not significant). (B, C), statistically significant differences between watering treatments for each accession following Wilcoxon test are indicated (*: P < 0.05; : P < 0.10).
CaMV traits of A. thaliana accessions under well-watered (WW) and water deficit (WD) treatments. (A) CaMV virulence determined as vegetative growth reduction (%) (n = 15; per accession and per treatment). (B) CaMV-accumulation in
