a, b osarf3ab (a) and osarf3lalb (b) mutants displayed enhanced thermotolerance than the wild-type NIP. After heat stress treatment at 42 °C for 60 h in a growth chamber, seedlings were recovered at 28 °C for 2 days before photographed. The survival rate was shown as mean ± s.d. (n = 3 or 4, biologically independent samples). c Blast resistance of osarf3lalb and osarf3a3b. Disease symptom, lesion lengths and relative fungal growth were measured at 7 dpi. d Bacteria blight resistance of osarf3lalb and osarf3a3b. Disease symptom and lesion lengths were measured at 14 dpi. Lesion lengths were shown as box plots (n > 27, biologically independent samples) (c, d). Box plots show the median (central line) and interquartile range (IQR; from the 25th to 75th percentile); whiskers extend to minimum and maximum values within 1.5 times the IQR (c, d). Scale bars, 1 cm (a–d). Significant differences were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post hoc analysis (a–d). Exact P values are provided in Supplementary Data 7 (a–d). Source data are provided as a Source Data file (a–d). All experiments were repeated three times with similar results.
