Partial resistance and constitutive expression of defense correlate. The log value of partial resistance (X-axis; Additional file 3) and expression of preformed expression of 21 genes (Y-axis; Additional File 4) indexes of the 23 representative rice cultivars was plotted. Correlation coefficients were statistically tested using the Pearsons' product moment correlation coefficent test and the Bonferroni correction (the initial 0.01 threshold was divided by 3 because each data set was tested 3 times)
