Figure 8From: HvCEBiP, a gene homologous to rice chitin receptor CEBiP, contributes to basal resistance of barley to Magnaporthe oryzaeExpression profiling of defense-related genes in leaves of BSMV:HvCEBiP-treated plants. Total RNAs were extracted from the leaves of BSMV- or BSMV:HvCEBiP-treated plants inoculated with M. oryzae wild-type strain Hoku-1 or mossd1 mutant K4 at 0 (no inoculation), 24 and 48 hpi. The expression of HvCEBiP was strongly down-regulated in BSMV:HvCEBiP-treated plants compared to BSMV-treated plants. The expression of HvPAL, HvPR-2a and HvPR-5 was also down-regulated in BSMV:HvCEBiP-treated plants compared to BSMV-treated plants. In contrast, the expression levels of HvPR-1 and HvRBOHA in BSMV:HvCEBiP-treated plants were similar to those in BSMV-treated plants.Back to article page
