Expression of defense genes is down-regulated in OsMADS26 OX before and after infection by M. oryzae. Three-week-old rice seedlings of OsMADS26 overexpressing (OX2) line and control line (OX0) were challenged with the moderately virulent isolates of M. oryzae GY11 (black bars) or mock treated (gray bars). The RNA was extracted at postinoculation. The expression of each gene was normalized using the actin gene as control. The POX223, PBZ1, CHI7, and PR5 genes are coding for pathogenesis-related proteins used as classical markers of defense. The NH1, OsFLS2, and WRKY28 genes are coding for regulator proteins of defense in rice. The means and sd were calculated from three independent experiments. A Student’s t test was done to establish whether the relative expression level in the OX2 lines was different with the line used as control. *, P < 0.01.
