Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Dr Chief in editor, editors, authors.

Happy day

The paper reflect excessive work but need re-organization in some parts.

1- How can you confirm that the crossover is successful. You did not describe any of the molecular tools that could confirm that the crossing over has been happened correctly never describe in details how you mad such crossing. Kindly add more details.

2- What you mean exactly with this sentence. Kindly give more details. And what is happened after the 20 days. line 33-34

"Thus, one complete disease cycle on susceptible plants takes place within 14 days, whereas it takes about20  days on resistant plants"   

3- Kindly explain in more details what did you benefit from running the statistical analysis.

4- Kindly link the observed data to the statistical analysis ones.

with my pleasure

5- Kindly, look if you can update the references.
