Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of recombinant Turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV)‐MPHis after nickel affinity column chromatography by sodium dodecylsulphate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE) (a) and Western blot analysis (b). M, molecular weight marker; lane 1, proteins from Escherichia coli M15 (negative control); lane 2, proteins from E. coli M15 transformed with TVCV‐MPHis. Arrows indicate the purified movement protein (MP). Pectin methylesterase (PME) activity in fractions eluted from affinity chromatography on a Sepharose column conjugated with TVCV‐MPHis (c) and from a blank Sepharose column (d): 1, intercellular washing fluids; 2, flow‐through; 3, washing; 4, proteins eluted from the columns.

Article Snippet: Tobamovirus infection of tobacco and A rabidopsis plants TVCV (strain PV‐0361) (DSMZ GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany) and TMV (strain U1) were propagated in Arabidopsis and tobacco plants, respectively, and purified as described by Gooding and Hebert ( 1967 ) and Lartey et al . ( 1993 ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Systemic accumulation of Turnip vein clearing virus‐coat protein (TVCV‐CP) in rosette leaves of wild‐type (WT) and pectin methylesterase inhibitor‐overexpressing Arabidopsis (AtPMEI‐2) plants. (a) Representative sodium dodecylsulphate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE) indicating TVCV‐CP accumulation (arrow) in systemic leaves of infected WT and AtPMEI‐2 plants at the indicated days post‐inoculation. (b) CP accumulation is expressed as a percentage of the maximal amount of CP measured in WT plants. Data represent average ± standard error (n = 3). The experiment was repeated three times with similar results.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Pectin methylesterase (PME) activity in wild‐type (WT) and transgenic Arabidopsis plants at early stages of Turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) infection. PME activity was quantified at the indicated hours post‐inoculation (hpi); M, mock‐inoculated plants; TVCV, virus‐inoculated plants. Data represent the average ± standard deviation (n = 6). The experiment was repeated twice with similar results. The different letters indicate datasets significantly different according to analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's test (P < 0.05).
