Phenotypic observation and changes of pollen viability in WT plants and plants with VIGS vectors. (A) Height comparison of VIGS vector containing plants. (B) Changes of pollen expression after VIGS. (C) Comparison of flower size difference. (D) Comparison of stigma size difference. (E) Pollen vitality of CLCrV: 00. (F) Pollen vitality of CLCrV: GhpPLA23. (G) Pollen vitality of CLCrV: GhpPLA44. (H) Pollen non-viable rate in plants with VIGS vectors. (I) Changes of CAT activity in pollen of plants with VIGS vectors. (G) Changes of POD activity in pollen of plants VIGS vectors. (K) Changes of SOD activity in pollen of plants with VIGS vectors. (L) Changes of MDA activity in pollen of plants with VIGS vectors. (M) Changes of H2O2 activity in pollen of plants with VIGS vectors. *** represent significant difference at the level of p < 0.001. ** represent significant difference at the level of p < 0.01
