OsMADS26 expression is regulated by M. oryzae infection. Three-week-old rice seedlings of cv Nipponbare were challenged with two isolates of M. oryzae virulent FR13 and avirulent CL3.6.7 or mock treated. The expression of each gene was normalized using the actin gene as control. The mean and sd were calculated from three independent experiments. A Student’s t test was done to establish whether the relative expression level in inoculated condition was different from mock treated. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.
