Analysis of callose and giant cell structure in root galls after Si treatment. a Giant cells (*) in silicon-amended rice root galls and control root galls were stained at 7dpi with toluidine blue solution and observed by microscopy. b Callose deposition in root galls was examined under UV light at 7 dpi. c Quantification of callose deposition was performed at 7 dpi using ImageJ software. Data presented are the mean ± SE of two independent experiments, each performed using ten galls
