From: Diversity and genetics of nitrogen-induced susceptibility to the blast fungus in rice and wheat
Diversity of nitrogen-induced susceptibility in rice. Nitrogen (1 N) or no nitrogen (0 N) was added to rice plants one day before inoculation with the GUY11 isolate of M. oryzae (see Methods). A. Different types (shown in B) of lesions typical of partial resistance were counted 7 days post-inoculation (dpi): lesions typical of resistance (light grey bars) and lesions typical of susceptibility (dark grey bars). The mean of each category of lesion was compared between the 0 N and 1 N condition and statistical differences are shown by *** (p value < 0.001; Wilcoxon test). B. Examples of nitrogen-induced susceptibility at 7 dpi. Lesions typical of resistance (R) and lesions typical of susceptibility (S) are shown.
