Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation βC1 localized to host-cell chloroplasts.
- Intervention effect RaLCB lacking βC1 had no effect on chloroplast ultrastructure.
- Association Transient βC1 expression induced vein flecking associated with chloroplast ultrastructure.
- Intervention effect Betasatellite reduced expression of chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development genes.
- Intervention effect Expression of key chlorophyll degradation genes remained unaffected.
- Intervention effect Betasatellite infection reduced active reaction centres in symptomatic leaves.
- Intervention effect Betasatellite infection reduced plastoquinol pool size in symptomatic leaves.
- Mechanism Betasatellite-mediated chloroplast impairments affected photosynthetic efficiency.
