Emergence of <i>P. citri</i> crawlers and their survival on plants inoculated with different recombinant TMV constructs.

<p>Comparison of alive and total crawlers that emerged 18<i>P. citri</i> onto plants inoculated with the following viral constructs: HC = healthy control <i>N. benthamiana</i> plants; TMV-GFP = TMV carrying GFP (TMV JL24); TMV = TMV with no insert (pJL36); TMV-Actin = part of the <i>actin</i> RNA inserted into TMV; TMV-CHS1-S and TMV-CHS1-AS = the <i>chitin synthase</i> 1 (<i>CHS</i>1) RNA fragment inserted into TMV in sense and antisense orientations, respectively; TMV-V-ATPase-S and TMV-V-ATPase-AS = the <i>V-ATPase</i> RNA fragment inserted into TMV in sense and antisense orientations, respectively. Numbers indicated with the same letter are homogenous groups at p<0.05.
