Overexpression of miR444 improves rice resistance against RSV infection. A, Wild-type (WT) and miR444-overexpressed (2-1 and 13-1) rice plants were grown for 14 d and then inoculated by RSV. Protein samples were collected, and the accumulation of RSV CP was analyzed by western blot at 14 dpi of RSV infection. The Rubisco large subunit (RBCL) bands were visualized by Coomassie Brilliant Blue and served as a loading control. B, Growth performance of wild-type and miR444-overexpressed rice plants at 30 dpi of RSV infection.
