The expression of representative PR genes in rice inoculated with <i>M. oryzae</i>.

Abstract

<p>(<b>A</b>) <i>OsPR1a</i>, (<b>B</b>) <i>OsPR3</i> and (<b>C</b>) <i>PBZ1</i>. Rice plants were inoculated with distilled water (mock), WT, <i>ags1</i>, or <i>ags1</i>^{+<i>MoAGS1</i>}<i> M. oryzae</i> strains. The gene expression levels relative to the <i>OsRUBQ1</i> gene were analyzed using qRT-PCR at 0, 2, 4, 7, and 10 hpi. The expression of the PR genes was rapidly induced through <i>ags1</i> inoculation. The results represent the mean ± SD from at least three independent experiments. An asterisk indicates statistically significant differences against the control (mock) at the same time points using the Dunnett's test at <i>P</i><0.05.</p
