Second-instar nymphs of SBPHs were fed on BYSMV-infected barley plants for a 36-h acquisition access, then incubated on healthy barley seedling for 2, 3, 5, 7, and 12-day padp. The whole internal organs were dissected for iCLSM test using BYSMV-N antibody conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (N-FITC).
