Disease severity of rice blast in leaves of MoHrip1-treated and control-treated rice plants.

Rice seedling samples	Rice blast score
MM (Rice immersed in MoHrip1 and sprayed with MoHrip1)	3.126 ± 0.212Aa
M (Rice immersed in MoHrip1 and sprayed with Tris-Cl)	3.734 ± 0.173Ab
CK (Rice immersed in H2O and sprayed with Tris-Cl)	5.862 ± 0.285B

The disease scores of the rice seedlings were evaluated on a scale of 0–9 at 7 days post-inoculation. Values are presented as the mean ± SD of three replicates, each consisting of 25 seedlings. Values with different letters indicate statistically significant differences (Duncan's t test, different capital letters means p < 0.01, different small letters means p < 0.05).
