Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the experimental system to evaluate the effect of plant on HPV suspension. The preliminary experiments were performed without electrical grounding, and the virus abundance in the leaf immersion suspensions (C) was analyzed using a rapid detection kit. In the case of Epipremnum aureum , samples from the virus suspension (C), submerged part of the leaf (B), and non-submerged part of the leaf (A) were analyzed using qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) with and without the electrical grounding conditions. In the illustrated example, graphite felt electrodes were used to electrically ground the plant pot.
