Virus induced gene expression of endogenous NbenIDA1A and IDA-like genes from citrus (CitIDA3) and Arabidopsis (AtIDA) in N. benthamiana plants. a The inoculation of the CLBV-based expression construct clbv3’pr-NbenIDA1 caused growth cessation and stunting of plants in comparison with plants inoculated with the control vector clbv3’pr and with clbv3’pr-CitIDA3 and clbv3’pr-AtIDA constructs. Close-up of the apical portions of plants inoculated with the control vector clbv3’pr, (b) and with clbv3’pro-NbenIDA1 (c), clbv3’pro-CitIDA3 (d), and clbv3’pro-AtIDA (e) constructs. (b to e) show flower development stages of plants inoculated with each of the CLBV expression vectors. It is interesting to note that while in (b, d, and e) the series of flower developmental stages ranges from 1 to 5 or 6, in (c), only flowers at stages 1, 2 and 7 remain, while flowers at stages 3 to 6 were missing. These flowers are apparently smaller and carry shorter corollas
