Combined stress response of contrasting rice genotypes. A Scheme showing combined and individual drought and pathogen stress imposition method. Drought stress was imposed to 45-days-old plants by gradual reduction in moisture content and maintained upto 60% FC. Xoo was infected to 47-days old plants at 80% FC with 0.5 × 108 CFU/mL using leaf-clipping method. For combined stress, when plants reached 80% FC, infected with Xoo and maintained upto 60% FC. B Bacterial disease symptoms in BPT5204 and TN1 plants exposed to drought, pathogen and combined stress at 6, 8, 10 and 12 dpi. C Bacterial multiplication rate from 4 to 14 days in contrasting rice genotypes under pathogen stress. D Bacterial multiplication rate in combined stress were measured from 4 to 14 days. Minimum five biological replicates were maintained for each stress. Graphs showing mean values ± SE. Significant differences were determined at p < 0.0001 with one-way ANOVA using Tukey’s HSD analysis
