GH3-2 expression was responsive to pathogen infection. Bars represent means (three replicates) ± sd. A, GH3-2 expression was induced by infection with M. grisea isolate 9-17-2 in RILs and their parents, Zhenshan 97 and Minghui 63, at the four- to five-leaf stage. The “a” or “b” indicates that a significant difference was detected between noninfected and pathogen-infected plants of the same rice line at P < 0.01 or P < 0.05, respectively. Two asterisks or one asterisk indicate that a significant difference was detected between susceptible Zhenshan 97 and other rice lines of the same treatment at P < 0.01 or P < 0.05, respectively. B, GH3-2 expression was influenced by infection with Xoc strain RH3. ck, Before infection.
