Viral long-distance movement. Nicotiana benthamiana plants were agro-infiltrated with the wild type parental virus TuMV::6 K2-GFP (a), the replication-defective mutant NIbΔGDD (b), mock (agrobacteria only) (c) and the CI mutant m1 (d). Photos were taken 15 days post infiltration. Top panels, photos taken under regular light; bottom panels, photos taken under UV light. The wild type parental virus TuMV::6 K2-GFP induced symptoms on new emerging leaves. Under UV light, strong GFP fluorescence was evident. No symptoms or GFP fluorescence was observed on plants agro-infiltrated with the replication-defective mutant NIbΔGDD, mock, and CIm1
