Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV)-induced expression of the green fluorescent protein ( GFP ) gene in reproductive tissues after rub-inoculation of one primary leaf with leaf sap. Floral buds, flowers, pods and seeds of P. vulgaris cv. Black Valentine plants infected with mock buffer, BPMV empty vector (BPMV-0) and GFP-expressing vector (BPMV-GFP) were photographed at 30 days post-inoculation (pi), 30 days pi, 8 weeks pi and 10 weeks pi, respectively, under natural light (top panel) and UV light (bottom panel).
