Figure 3. OsDR10-suppressed plants showed enhanced resistance to Xoo at both adult and seedling stages.

Figure 3

PXO61, PXO86, PXO99, PXO341, Zhe173, and KS-1-21 were different Xoo strains that had different levels of virulence to the wild-type plant Minghui 63. D27RMH3-5 and D27RMH17-23 are transgenic lines of T2 generation. Each data point (A) or bar (C) represents mean (three technical replicates)±standard deviation. (A) Growth of Xoo strains PXO61 and PXO99 in leaves of OsDR10-suppressed and wild-type plants at booting stage. Bacterial populations were determined from three leaves at each time point by counting colony-forming units (CFUs). (B) OsDR10-suppressed plants showed enhanced bacterial resistance at the seedling stage. (C) OsDR10-suppressed plants showed broad-spectrum resistance to different Xoo strains at the booting stage. IRBB4, with bacterial blight resistance gene Xa4, is a near-isogenic line with the genetic background of the susceptible indica variety IR24.
