Infection Assay for Rice Blast Fungus in OsRbohB-KD Plants.
(A) Transcriptional analysis of Os-RbohB in OsRbohB-KD plants by qRT-PCR.
(B) Infection of wild-type and OsRbohB-KD plants with a compatible strain of rice blast fungus (race007.0). Bars = 3 mm.
(C) Lesion length at 6 d postinfection in leaves of wild-type and OsRbohB-KD plants infected by the blast fungus. Data are means ± sd (n ≥ 30). Asterisks indicate significant differences compared with the wild type (Student’s t test; **P < 0.01).
(D) Relative growth of M. oryzae on susceptible rice cultivars. Data are means ± sd (n = 6). Asterisks indicate significant differences compared with the wild type (Student’s t test; **P < 0.01).
