OsWRKY53 mediates rice SSB-induced ET accumulation. A, Mean levels (+se, n = 5) of ET in ir-wrky (insert) and oe-WRKY lines and wild-type (WT) plants that were individually infested by a third-instar SSB larva. B, Mean transcript levels (+se, n = 5) of OsACS2 in ir-wrky (insert) and oe-WRKY lines and wild-type plants that were individually infested by a third-instar SSB larva. Asterisks indicate significant differences in ir-wrky and oe-WRKY lines compared with wild-type plants (*P < 0.05; and **P < 0.01, Student’s t tests).
