Fig 2. OsSWEET14 is likely a susceptibility gene for Vietnamese Xoo strains in rice cultivar TBR225.

(A) Representative images of the disease lesions obtained 14 days after leaf clipping inoculation of TBR225 rice leaves with Vietnamese Xoo strains VXO_11 and VXO_15 or with water (CT). The chevrons above the leaves indicate the maximum visible extent of lesions away from the inoculation point on the left (B). OsSWEET14 expression pattern obtained by RT-PCR two day post-infiltration of TBR225 rice leaves with Vietnamese Xoo strains. CT Plants were inoculated with water only. The experiment was repeated three times.
