Fig. 4From: Several wall-associated kinases participate positively and negatively in basal defense against rice blast fungusDefense gene expression and H2O2 production in OE-WAK91 lines. OE-WAK91 lines were inoculated with M. oryzae (GY11 moderately virulent isolate) and we measured two facets of plant defense response at 48 hpi: H2O2 production (a) and expression of genes responsive to infection (b). Mean values are provided with the standard error (n = 4). Statistical differences were evaluated according to one-way ANOVA followed by Fischer’s (a) or Dunnett’s (b) tests: P < 0.05 (*), P <0.01 (**) and P <0.001 (***). a H2O2 production in loss-of function and OE-OsWAK91 was expressed as the percentage of infection sites (>100 counted for each genotype) showing DAB staining. b Expression of defense-related genes in the OsWAK91 over-expresser (OE) and null-segregant (NS) linesBack to article page
