“…Nicotiana benthamiana , a member of the Solanaceae family, is a model plant species that is widely used for studying host–pathogen interactions and for transient protein expression to examine protein function, subcellular protein localization, and protein–protein interactions (Anand et al., ; Chakravarthy, Velásquez, Ekengren, Collmer, & Martin, ; Gilbert & Wolpert, ; Goodin, Zaitlin, Naidu, & Lommel, ; Kaundal et al., ; Lee et al., ; Liu et al., ; Rojas et al., ; Wang et al., 2012). In addition to these uses, N. benthamiana is also an attractive model to study the function of genes involved in abiotic stress responses, plant development, and metabolism (Chakravarthy et al., ; Gas‐Pascual, Berna, Bach, & Schaller, ; Jones, Keining, Eamens, & Vaistij, ; Liu et al., ; Ramegowda, Senthil‐kumar, Udayakumar, & Mysore, ; Senthil‐Kumar, Lee, & Mysore, ).…”
