Response of rice to the avirulent strain Gy11-AvrPia. a-c Representative symptoms and quantification on forth leaf blade from three genotypes of rice: Nihonmasari WT, cpm2, and hebiba at 7 dpi. a: representative leaves showing the level of symptoms; b: lesion number per leaf area (lesion number/cm²); c: lesion area per leaf area. For each genotype, leaves from at least 3 seedlings in different pots were collected for symptom quantification. d-f Quantification of fungal development during incompatible interaction with strain GY11-AvrPia rice leaf using the staging system of Fig. S1. Frequency distributions of the different stages at 1 dpi (d), 2 dpi (e), and 3 dpi (f). Error bars indicate standard error of three biological replicates. “NS” indicates that no significant difference was found as compared to Nihonmasari WT (P > 0.05, Student’s t-test). Significant differences are indicated by * (P < 0.05, Student’s t-test), or ** (P < 0.01, Student’s t-test), respectively
