Figure 5. Functional characterization of TaGLY1 and TaGLI1 in response to stripe rust infection using the BSMV-VIGS system.

Disease symptoms were observed at 14 dpi on the fourth and fifth leaves of wheat plants inoculated with the BSMV virus and the avirulent pathogen CYR23. Photo-bleaching symptoms were observed at 14 dpi on wheat seedlings when TaPDS was silenced with BSMV:PDS. Mock trials of wheat leaves were BSMV:γ control plants infected with CYR23.
