The plant growth of Nipponbare and 15HPO187 challenged with RBSDV infection. a A mock- or RBSDV-inoculated Nipponbare (left) or 15HPO187 (right) plants photographed at 30 dpi. b Time-course analysis of RBSDV P10 gene in the RBSDV-inoculated Nipponbare or 15HPO187 plants at various dpi. Five plants were pooled together as one biological experiment for each time point for analysis. The data represented the means ± SD of three biological replicates. Entire experiment repeated 3 times with similar results. c RBSDV disease incidence of the Nipponbare and 15HPO187 rice was determined at 30 dpi. 30 two-leaf stage rice seedlings of each cultivar were tests for disease incidence experiment. Scale bars = 5 cm. Images are representative of three independent biological experiments. The data represented the means ± SD of the three replicates. Different low case letters above the bars indicate the statistical differences between the treatments using the Duncan’s multiple test, **, p < 0.01. Mock, plants were inoculated with non-viruliferous SBPHs; RBSDV, plants were inoculated with RBSDV viruliferous SBPHs
