OsEDS1 was not required for R-mediated resistance to Xoo. Data represent mean ± SE (n = 11 to 15 for lesion length, and 3 for bacterial growth and gene expression). WT, wild-type Zhonghua 11; MKbZH1, transgenic line carrying R gene Xa3/Xa26 with the genetic background of Zhonghua 11. a The oseds1 did not influence Xa3/Xa26-mediated resistance. Bacterial growth were analyzed at 12 days after Xoo inoculation. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences at P < 0.01 by the one-way ANOVA test. b OsEDS1 showed similar expression patterns in both resistant and susceptible reactions. Two-tail student’s t-test. The “a” or “b” above bar indicate significant differences between non-inoculated control (ck) plants and inoculated plants at P < 0.01 or P < 0.05, respectively. The ** above bar indicate significant differences between WT and MKbZH1 plants after the same treatment at P < 0.01
