Figure 5. OsPIANK1 promoter activation in response to inoculation with M.oryzae or exogenous application of MeJA, SA or ABA.

The leaves were harvested at 6 days after inoculation with M.oryzae and 12 h after treatment with the phytohormones. The numbers over the bars indicate the increase in induction of GUS activity compared to the mock. Data represent the means ± SE from the leaf extracts collected from three experimental plant units. (**, *indicate significant differences between the untreated (mock) and treated plants at P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively, as determined by the SNK test.).
