Effects of CWMV infection on the ABA pathway. a ABA concentrations in controls and CWMV-infected plants. Three independent biological replicates were analyzed for each treatment. **, P < 0.01 determined by Student’s t-test. b RT-qPCR analysis of ABA-pathway genes in control and CWMV-infected plants. Means ± SE were calculated from three biological replicates relative to control plants, and each replicate had three technical replicates. **, P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). Control plants were agro-infiltrated with agrobacterium cultures carrying the empty vector pCB-35S
