Fig. 2.

Functional complementation assay for the Xa7 candidate gene. The TAC sub-clones used for rice transformation are indicated with empty and filled rectangles. The empty rectangles represent the subclones generating susceptible transgenic lines, while filled rectangles represent the subclones generating transgenic resistant lines. The positional information of the inserted fragments is shown flanking the rectangles. Negative numbers indicate a distance upstream of the ATG code initiation site for the candidate gene, while positive numbers indicate a downstream distance from it. The subclones that produced bacterial blight–resistant transgenic rice are marked with (+) before the clone number, otherwise they are marked with (−). The recipient varieties used for transformation are provided in brackets after the clone numbers
