Expression patterns of WRKY45-regulated genes in response to blast infection. Leaves of NB rice plants were sprayed with M. oryzae conidia suspension or 0.02% Tween 20 (mock), and incubated at 25°C in the dark for indicated times. Changes in transcript levels of each gene over time were determined by qRT-PCR, relative to that of Rubq1 as an internal standard. Results of two replicates each for M. oryzae inoculation (■, □) and mock treatment (●, ○) are shown.
