Data included are averages of at least 5 individual plants from which 3 infected leaves (a) or panicles (b) were scored. * represents a significant levels of p < 0.01 beween D62B and MH86 (t-test). # represents the significant levels of p <0.01 in DXT and DXB with D62B as the control.D62B: the recipient control; DXT: transgenic line with Xa21; DXB: MAB line with Xa21; MH86: another rice variety.
