Response of tolerant, sensitive and VIGS cotton plants to TFS herbicide. Three week old cotton plants shown one week after application of 3000 μM TFS herbicide. a, c Tolerant (STV474) and sensitive (HS26) cultivars. b, d Tolerant STV474 plants were infiltrated with the helper vector, pTRV1, and either an empty pTRV2 vector (CK) or with a pTRV2-D10G1401 construct to test the effect of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of the CYP749A16 (Gh_D10G1401) gene on TFS tolerance. Damage to cotyledons was due to the VIGS infiltration, while damage to true leaves could be attributed to the induced TFS sensitivity
