Overexpressing Avr-Pita suppresses basal resistance to M. oryzae in rice. a Disease symptoms of PUbi::Avr-Pita lines and wild-type (WT) plants at 12 days post inoculation (dpi) with compatible isolate 10–441. b Lesion area was photographed and measured using ImageJ software. Data are shown as mean ± standard error (SD) (**P < 0.01, n > 12). c Relative fungal biomass of M. oryzae in inoculated leaves, as quantified by qPCR comparing the DNA amounts of the fungal gene MoPot2 and the rice gene OsUbq. Data are shown as mean ± SD, (**P < 0.01, n = 3). d Expression of OsPBZ1 in the leaves of PUbi::Avr-Pita lines following chitin treatment. e Expression of OsPR10 in PUbi::Avr-Pita lines following chitin treatment. Data were normalized to the expression level of OsACTIN. Data are shown as mean ± SD (**P < 0.01, n = 3)
