Figure 6. Phytoalexin accumulation in W53SD-OX rice plants.

Figure 6

A, Expression analysis of momilactone biosynthetic genes. qRT-PCR analysis was performed using total RNA isolated from uninfected rice leaves. Values indicate relative mRNA levels normalized to the expression of the UBQ gene (n = 3); bars indicate the standard error of the mean. Three independent experiments were performed, and a representative result is shown. B, Accumulation of momilactones in uninfected W53SD-OX rice plants. Momilactone levels in the rice leaves were determined by LC-MS/MS. The results are the average of at least 3 independent experiments. Bars indicate the standard error of the mean. NT, non-transformed control; OX, OsWRKY53-overexpressing rice plants; SD-OX; OsWRKY53SD-overexpressing rice plants. N.D.: not detected.
