Effects of overexpression of Xb24 on Xa21-mediated resistance. (A) Photograph of rice leaves 14 days after inoculation with PXO99 (Top). The disease lesions are indicated from the top of the leaf cuts to the arrows. The XB24 protein was detected by anti-XB24 (Middle). A duplicate protein gel was stained with CBB as control (Bottom). (B) Quantitative lesion length measurements of rice leaves at 14 days after Xoo inoculation. The average of each sample was calculated from 40 infected leaves of 10 plants. (C) Growth curves of Xoo postinoculation. Error bars in B and C indicate SDs.
