Effect of BSMV-induced TaLr35PR5 silencing on disease development in wheat. Seventh leaves of 7-leave stage old TcLr35 wheat plants were inoculated with viral vectors as a transcripts mixture containing α, β, and γ carrying derivatives of recombinant γ vector either no insert (BSMV:00) or containing a PDS gene (BSMV::PDS) or two individual TaLr35PR5 silencing fragments (BMSV::V1 or BSMV:: V2). BSMV::00 and BSMV::PDS were used as negative and positive control, respectively. Plants were spray-inoculated with Pt uridiniospores 10 days after virus or buffer inoculations. Disease developments were monitored 14-days after dridiniospores inoculation and representative leaves were photographed
