  1. aA.I., the inoculation method was applied by agro-infiltration with pBD-TuMV-GFP or pBD-TuMV-GK on N. benthamiana plants. bM.I., individual lesions on C. quinoa plants infected with pBD-TuMV-GFP or pBD-TuMV-GK were collected and used as inocula for mechanical inoculation. cNumber of infected plants as a percentage of the total plant population. The virus infection was analyzed by ELISA at 12 dpi.
