Enhanced disease resistance to fungal blast in GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 1‐overexpressing (GIF1‐OE) plants. (A) Blast lesions were less developed in GIF1‐OE plants compared with the wild‐type (WT) plants. Leaves were spray inoculated with virulent race ZB1 (left) and ZB15 (right), and disease symptoms were recorded at 7 days post‐inoculation. (B) Disease severity and lesion size were decreased significantly in GIF1‐OE plants relative to the WT. (C) Average infection types in the GIF1‐OE and WT plants at 48 h post‐inoculation (hpi). Note that Types I and II were increased significantly, whereas Types III and IV were decreased significantly in GIF1‐OE. At least 100 lesions from 30 representative diseased leaves of 30 plants were measured. Data presented are the means ± standard error (SE) (n = 3). **Significant difference in comparison with the WT control (P ≤ 0.001).
