Expression of pathogenesis-related genes in wild-type (WT) and Ossec3a mutant plants. (A) qRT–PCR of pathogenesis-related genes in WT and Ossec3a plants. Samples were detached from leaf blades at the seedling stage and tillering stage when lesions appeared. (B–D) qRT–PCR of pathogenesis-related genes PR1a (B), NPR1 (C), and PBZ1 (D) using 4-week-old WT and Ossec3a plants at various time points from 0 to 5 dpi (days post-inoculation) with Magnaporthe oryzae. Values are presented as the mean ±SE of three independent experiments. Significant differences were determined with the Student’s t-test (*0.01<P<0.05; ** P<0.01).
