Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Delta-aminolevulinic acid accumulated in citrus plants inoculated with the recombinant virus CTV-tALAD that silences ALAD.
- Intervention effect CTV-tALAD plants developed discrete yellow spots (yellow islands) and necrosis in leaves and stems.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the increased zeaxanthin and decreased precursors as showing that the chlorophyll reduction resulted in light damage.
- Intervention effect The authors conclude that silencing of ALAD induces stress in plants.
