Figure 3. Effects of the TFB region of TALE PthXo1 on the virulence of Xoo strains and on the expression of rice susceptibility gene in rice−Xoo interaction.

Each bar represents mean (total 30 to 35 leaves from five plants for lesion length; three replicates for gene expression and bacterial growth rate) ± standard deviation. (A) Virulence of wild-type strain T7174 and recombinant strains carrying PthXo1 and its derivatives in IR24 and IRBB5. b, significant difference between T7174 and recombinant strains in each rice line at p<0.01. (B) Growth of different Xoo strains in rice leaves. b, significant difference between 0 day (30 min after infection) and 12 days after infection of each strain at p<0.01. (C) Expression of susceptibility gene Os8N3 after infection of different strains. b, significant difference between non-inoculated (ck) and inoculated (at 48 hr after infection of a strain) plants in each rice line at p<0.01.

Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Effects of the TFB region of TALE PthXo1 on the virulence of Xoo strains and on the expression of rice susceptibility gene in rice−Xoo interaction. .

Each bar represents mean (total 30 to 35 leaves from five plants for lesion length; three replicates for gene expression and bacterial growth rate) ± standard deviation. (A) Virulence of wild-type strain KACC10331 and recombinant strains carrying PthXo1 and its derivatives in near-isogenic lines IR24 and IRBB5. b, significant difference between T7174 and recombinant strains in each rice line at p<0.01. (B) Growth of different strains in rice leaves. b, significant difference between 0 day (30 minutes after infection) and 12 days after infection of each strain at p<0.01. (C) Expression of susceptibility gene Os8N3 after infection of different strains. b, significant difference between non-inoculated (ck) and inoculated (at 48 hr after infection of a strain) plants in each rice line at p<0.01.
