Resistance to R. solani (AG-1 IA) sheath blight in BSR2-OX and -KD rice lines. Comparisons of (a) inoculated leaves, (b) lesion lengths and (c) relative fungal growth of detached leaf blades from BSR2-OX lines 13 d after drop inoculation with R. solani (MAFF243956; AG1-1A). The second leaf blades from the top leaf at leaf stages 10–13 were used for inoculation. Asterisks indicate that values are significantly different from the WT (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, according to a t-test; error bars represent the standard deviation; n = 4). Measurements of relative fungal growth were performed three times with similar results. Comparison of (d) inoculated leaves and (e) lesion lengths of detached leaf blades of BSR2-KD lines 7 d after drop inoculation. The second leaf blades from the top leaf at leaf stages 10–13 were used for inoculation. The lesion lengths in the BSR2-KD plants were longer than those in the WT plants. Tests were performed three times with similar results. Arrows indicate the inoculation points.
