Fig. 5From: Rice Germin-Like Proteins: Allelic Diversity and Relationships to Early Stress Responses OsGLP genes are differentially induced by mechanical wounding. Induction of selected OsGLP genes after pressure spray (S) and mechanical wounding (W) compared to untreated controls (U) in rice cultivars SHZ-2 and LTH. OsGLP transcript levels were assayed with gene-specific primers by RT-PCR, and average band intensities of three biological replications (n = 3) were normalized to the highest intensity per gene and are shown in the heat maps. Multiple OsGLP genes were induced by both treatments in the two cultivars. Transcripts of OsGLP8-11 were not observed in the most resistant cultivar, SHZ-2.Back to article page
