(A) Photo was taken 60 days after transplanting. Disease symptoms caused by naturally occurring mixed virus infection were evaluated. Induced resistance against Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Broad bean wilt virus (BBWV), Pepper mottle virus (PepMoV), and Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV). Disease symptoms caused by naturally occurring CMV were evaluated 134 days post-transplantation (dpt). (B) Validation experiment of induced resistance against CMV by foliar application of strain RGJ1 in the greenhouse. The expression of viral-specific genes was measured 60 days after treatment of pepper plants with strain RGJ1, BTH and control. Bars represent the mean value ± SEM (N = 5). The housekeeping gene CaUBQ was used as a control. The experiment was repeated twice with similar results.
