  1. aMidveins of leaves of 40 days old rice plants (TN-1) were preinjected with either water alone, or water containing ~109 cells of LBA4404/pSB11 or LBA4404/pOsAP2/ERF. After 6 h, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae was inoculated onto the midvein, 2 to 3 cm below the point of initial injection, by pricking with a needle that had been used to touch a freshly grown colony of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. Lesion lengths were measured 10 days after inoculation
  2. b18–28 leaves were used in each experiment and four independent replications were performed
  3. cLesion lengths were measured 10 days after inoculation. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for each of the treatments. ANOVA was performed and the values obtained after treatment with LBA4404/pOsAP2/ERF were found to be significantly different (p < 0.05) as compared to all other treatments
