Comparisons of delivery of dsRNA to cucumber and N. benthamiana plants by RT-qPCR. (A) Delivery of dsRNA (NbCHE-derived) naked or as nanocomposites at different loading ratios in cucumber leaves (3 dpt). (B) Detection of dsRNAs in cucumber in a distal location from the application site. (C) Delivery of dsRNA (BCTV-derived) in N. benthamiana plants after spraying (3 dpt) with naked dsRNA or as dsRNA: NPs composites. (D) Delivery in cucumber leaves of dsRNA (NbCHE-derived) as naked dsRNA or dsRNA: NPs composites at different loading ratios at 7 dpt. Different letters on the bars refer to significant differences (P < 0.05). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.005 represent significance after one-way ANOVA test.
