REN and coinfection: When co‐infection with the effector construct fused with Pre‐miR828 and reporter construct fused with GhLPF1 cDNA, LUC/REN activity decreased by ≈90% compared to the combination of an empty effector and the same reporter construct, while LUC/REN activity of the empty reporter construct exhibited no obvious changes regardless of co‐infection with the empty effector or effector fused with Pre‐miR828 (Figure 4E–G).
