CVC symptoms in wild-type and transgenic lines. (a) Severity analysis of CVC symptoms. Plants were evaluated for at least five replicates of each transgenic line by three different evaluators at 4, 5, 6 and 7 months after inoculation. (b) Area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) for CVC severity in wild-type and transgenic lines. The average of the CVC scores were used to calculate the disease progression curve. Asterisks show statistically significant differences for transgenic lines compared with wild-type using t-Student (*P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). Error bars represent the standard error of the means. Pi_WT, wild-type Pineapple sweet orange type; Pi_mqsR_1, 2, 3 and 4, Pineapple transgenic lines transformed with mqsR; C_WT. c) Illustration of the CVC symptoms showing the severity level on the leaves (white arrows) of wild-type (Pi_WT) and transgenic representative line (Pi_mqsR_1).
