Modulating OsDR11S expression influenced the resistance to Xoo. Rice plants were inoculated with Xoo strain PXO99 at the booting stage. Data represent mean (three to six replicates from one plant for disease area, three replicates from one plant for gene expression, and three replicates from each type of plant for bacterial growth) ± sd. Asterisks indicate significant difference between transgenic and wild-type (WT) plants at **P < 0.01 or *P < 0.05. A, Enhanced resistance to Xoo was associated with overexpression of OsDR11S in T1 families. WT, Mudanjiang 8. B, Increased susceptibility to Xoo was associated with suppression of OsDR11S in T1 families. WT, Minghui 63. C, Modulating OsDR11S expression influenced the growth of PXO99 in rice leaves. 0 h, Immediately after inoculation; cfu, colony-forming unit.
