Carica papaya MicroRNAs Are Responsive to Papaya meleira virus Infection

Relative quantification of PMeV load in C. papaya leaf samples.
Relative quantification of PMeV following real time RT-PCR. The amplification curve was assessed, and cyclophilin was used for normalisation. The normalised level of No PMeV load (control) was set as 1.0, and the other PMeV loads were calculated in relation to the control. The following four samples were selected: 1 - No detectable virus, no symptoms; 2 - Low viral load (Log10RQ ∼1.4), no symptoms; 3 - High viral load (Log10RQ ∼4), with symptoms of sticky disease; and 4 - Very high viral load (Log10RQ ∼5.5), with symptoms of sticky disease.
