Fig. 6From: Production of BP178, a derivative of the synthetic antibacterial peptide BP100, in the rice seed endospermResistance of BP178-rice seeds to Fusarium verticillioides infection. a Phenotypical appearance of wild-type (WT) and transgenic seedlings carrying the indicated transgenes or the empty vector (EV) 7 days after germination in contact with F. verticillioides spore suspensions (105 spores/mL). Pictures are representative of 3 independent assays b Germination capability of the fungal inoculated transgenic seeds referred to wild-type seeds. Values correspond to the mean germination rate and standard errors of three independent assays in which at least 3 independent lines per transgene were analysed. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences with wild-type and empty vector plants (Tukey’s test, *p < 0.001)Back to article page
