The role of OsWRKY45-2 in rice-Xoo interaction. The asterisks indicate that a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the lesion area was detected between transgenic plants and the wild type (WT). The expression levels of OsWRKY45-2 in transgenic plants are relative to that in the wild type. Bars represent means (four to five replicates for the lesion area and three replicates for expression level) ± sd. A, Enhanced resistance to Xoo strain PXO61 associated with overexpression of OsWRKY45-2 in T1 families D114UM4 and D114UM6. B, The OsWRKY45-2-overexpressing line D113UM4-8 was also resistant to other Xoo strains. C, Suppressing OsWRKY45-2 decreased rice resistance to Xoo strain PXO61. Minghui 63 is the wild type.
