Silencing of OsHsp18.0 increased susceptibility of SH5 to different Xoo strains. (a) Comparison of the expression levels of OsHsp18.0 in OsHsp18.0-silenced transgenic plants with that in the wild-type SH5. Bars represent means (three to five replicates) ±SD. (b) Lesion area in wild type and T2 plants of five OsHsp18.0-RNAi transgenic lines inoculated with Zhe173, PXO79 and PXO99 at 20 dpi. The asterisks indicate that a significant difference in the lesion area was detected between transgenic plants and the wild type (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01). (c) Growth rates of Zhe173 strain in the leaves of OsHsp18.0-silencing lines SE-12, SE-18 and wild type SH5. Bacterial CFU was counted from four leaves at each time point. The asterisks indicate that a significant difference in the CFU was detected between transgenic plants and the wild type (*p < 0.05).
