Expression analyses in flag leaves in response to rice blast. The flag leaves of KASBL and K209 were spray-inoculated with water (mock) or blast fungal conidia suspension (Bl) (2.0–1.5 × 105 spores ml−1). The expression of NH1, WRKY45 Pb1 and PR1a in flag leaves 1 day (left column) and 3 days (right column) after inoculation was analyzed by q-RT-PCR. The Y-axis shows relative mRNA expression to UBQ. The average of 12 plants and SD are shown. Different letters indicate significant differences among the different lines at p < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA). Experiments were repeated twice with similar results
