Phenotypes of the virus-infected wheat plants with BSMV RNA transcripts under the freezing stress at day 5. Non-silenced plant served as control, BSMV0, BSMVHsp90, BSMVBBI, and BSMVREP14-treated plant compared to the control (leaf phenotypes). Freeze-stressed BSMV0-inoculated plants served as control. Non-silenced non-stressed, non-silenced freeze-stressed (−5 °C) plants, and freeze-stressed BSMVHsp90, BSMVBBI, and BSMVREP14-treated plants were included for comparison of phenotypes. Note: The depressed vigour of plants silenced for Hsp90, BBI, and REP14 were compared to the viral control plants.
