From: Fine-Tuning Roles of Osa-miR159a in Rice Immunity Against Magnaporthe oryzae and Development
The mutations of Osa-miR159a target genes result in enhanced resistance against Magnaporthe oryzae. a-c The genotype of Osa-miR159a target gene knockout lines were confirmed by PCR based sequencing. Ref means reference sequences. d Blast disease phenotype at 5 days post-inoculation (dpi) with M. oryzae strain GZ8 in the indicated lines. Scale bars, 10 mm. e, f Relative fungal biomass (e) and lesion length (f) on the inoculated leaves from (d). Data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). Different letters above bars indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) as determined by a one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD post hoc test. The experiments were repeated two times with similar results
