Differential expression between resistant and susceptible cultivars was observed for two OsGLP genes. a OsGLP8-6 is upregulated in resistant cultivars. SHZ-2, a highly resistant cultivar, showed higher constitutive expression (0 hpi, white bars) than the other cultivars. Both resistant (+QTL) cultivars had higher relative induction by M. oryzae infection (black bars) compared to susceptible (-QTL). b OsGLP8-12 is upregulated in susceptible cultivars. There is high constitutive expression of OsGLP8-12 in Azucena and LTH (-QTL) compared to IR64 and SHZ-2 (+QTL). The resistant cultivars show peak induction of this gene at 24 hpi with M. oryzae. OsGLP transcript levels were assayed with gene-specific primers by RT-PCR, and the average band intensities of three biological replications (n = 3) with standard errors are shown.
