Fig. 3From: Protein Elicitor EsxA Induces Resistance to Seedling Blight and PR Genes Differential Transcription in RiceEffects of protein elicitor EsxA on the growth and performances of rice udner seedling blight (Fusarium oxysporum) stress (seedling-spraying treatment, 7 days). A, C, and D: 48 h after the EsxA treatment; B, E, and F: 7 days after the inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum, with C and D representing control (Con) seedlings (without EsxA) and E and F representing seedlings sprayed with EsxA. The number of roots was determined based on roots longer than 1 cm; the number of white roots includes roots shorter than 1 cm (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)Back to article page
