OsGLP genes are induced by rice blast infection. Gene expression patterns of OsGLP genes after challenge with M. oryzae. Three-week-old plants of two susceptible, Azucena (A) and LTH (L), and two resistant, IR64 (I) and SHZ-2 (S), rice cultivars were challenged with the virulent M. oryzae isolate P06-6 and sampled at 0, 12, 24, and 48 hpi. OsGLP transcript levels were assayed with gene-specific primers by RT-PCR. The average band intensities of three biological replications (n = 3) were normalized to the highest intensity per gene and are shown in the heat maps. OsGLP genes in both GER3 and GER4 subfamilies were induced by M. oryzae infection. Transcripts of OsGLP8-11 were not observed in the most resistant cultivar, SHZ-2.
