FIGURE 6.

Effect of dehydroascorbate (DHA) on rice susceptibility to Meloidogyne graminicola in WRYK45‐RNAi line and wild‐type Nipponbare. Two‐week‐old rice plants were treated with 20 mM DHA followed by 250 J2 nematode inoculation at 1 day posttreatment. Galls and nematodes were recorded 14 days postinoculation. Error bars indicate the SE from 12 replicates. The whole experiment was independently repeated twice, providing confirmatory results. Different letters indicate a statistically significant difference (Duncan's multiple range test, α = 0.05).
