Photographs were taken and lesion lengths were determined 21 days after inoculation. Vertical error bars indicate the standard deviations (SD). The data are the averages of 12–15 replicates for each treatment. Columns and lines not connected by the same letter are significantly different (P<0.05) as determined by a one-way ANOVA (P<0.001) followed by post hoc Tukey HSD analysis. <b>C</b>. Bacterial growth patterns of the KXO85, <i>xopN</i><sub><i>KXO85</i></sub> mutant, and complemented <i>xopN</i><sub><i>KXO85</i></sub> mutant strains in flag leaves of wild-type Dongjin. The data are shown as the average values for three replicates; vertical bars indicate the error ranges (±SD). The bacterial populations were assessed every 3 days after inoculation. Different letters at day 21 indicate significant differences (P<0.05) as determined by a one-way ANOVA (P<0.001) followed by post hoc Tukey HSD analysis.</p

The expected molecular weights were as follows: XopN<sub>KXO85</sub>-6× His = 78.7 kDa; Flag-OsVOZ2 = 74.6 kDa; OsXNP-Flag = 40.1 kDa; +, protein expressed; and -, vector control. <b>C</b>.

    <p><b>A</b>. Schematic representation of the T-DNA insertion in OsVOZ2 T<sub>7</sub> transgenic rice. <i>OsVOZ2</i> consists of four exons (orange boxes) and three introns (line between the orange boxes). The T-DNA was located in the second intron from the translational start site. F and R are the primers used for RT-PCR analysis, which showed the expected size of <i>OsVOZ2</i> in wild-type Dongjin but not in the <i>OsVOZ2</i> mutant rice PFG_3A-07565. Actin1 was used for normalization of the cDNA quantity. <b>B</b>. Virulence assay of the <i>xopN</i><sub><i>KXO85</i></sub> mutant in wild-type Dongjin rice and OsVOZ2 mutant rice.

Lesion lengths were determined 21 days after inoculation. Vertical error bars indicate the standard deviation (SD). The statistical significance was determined using a two-way ANOVA as compared to wild-type Dongjin rice with the post hoc Tukey HSD test (***, P<0.001). <b>D</b>. Growth patterns of the KXO85, <i>xopN</i><sub><i>KXO85</i></sub> mutant, and complemented <i>xopN</i><sub><i>KXO85</i></sub> mutant in the flag leaves of OsVOZ2 mutant rice (PFG_3A-07565). The data are the average values of three replicates; vertical bars indicate the error ranges (±SD). The bacterial populations were assessed every 3 days after inoculation.

    <p>(a) The 3 developmental stages of <i>F. velutipes</i>. (b) The Venn diagram shows unique and common genes expressed across the different developmental stages and the different tissues. (c) Heat map of expression of AA genes at 3 developmental stages and in different tissues of <i>F. velutipes</i>. The bar at the top of the panel represents the expression values (log2 based normalization value). AA1, multicopper oxidase (laccases, ferroxidase, laccase-like multicopper oxidase); AA2, classII peroxidase (manganase peroxidase, lignin peroxidase, versatile peroxidase); AA3, GMC oxidoreductase (cellobiose dehydrogenase, aryl-alcohol oxidase/glucose oxidase, alcohol oxidase, pyranose oxidase); AA5, radical-copper oxidase (glyoxal oxidase, galatose oxidase); AA7, glucooligosaccharide oxidase. ◂ indicates a 2-fold increase in gene compared to the next highest expression level for a particular stage or tissue and exhibiting peaked expression (≥5.5 log2 values) during the mycelial stage. † indicates that the AA gene showed a higher expression level than the overall average expression level of all other AA genes during all stages and in all tissues.
