Salicylic acid is involved in the disease resistance of IRBB5 to Xoo strain PXO86. (a) Resistance of IRBB5, IR24, B5xa5Ri, 24NG and B5NG plants at the flourishing tillering stage. NahG-dependent lesion formation is shown in the leaves of B5NG plants. The phenotype survey is carried out at 14 dai. The scale bar is 2 cm. (b) Lesion lengths on the leaves of rice plants at 14 dai. Values are the mean ± SD of three independent biological replicates. Letters denote significant differences based on analyses of plants treated with SA (+SA) and H2O (−SA) using the Tukey significance difference test (p < 0.05). (c) Bacterial populations of PXO86 in rice plants. Number of bacteria in 1-cm leaf sections from the cut sites were measured at 1, 4, 8 and 12 dai. Bars are means ± standard error. These plants were pretreated with 2 mM SA or H2O for one day and then inoculated with PXO86. B5NG and 24NG are the T1 transgenic plants overexpressing the bacterial nahG gene in IRBB5 and IR24 respectively; B5xa5Ri is the xa5 RNAi plant in IRBB5 background; IRBB5V and IR24V are the transgenic plants with pCAMBIA1300 vector in IRBB5 and IR24 respectively.
