sl-MH-1 mutant displays increased resistance to P. oryzae. a 3-week-old MH86 and sl-MH-1 seedlings were inoculated with P. oryzae conidia by spraying. At 7 days post inoculation (dpi), the diseased leaves were imaged. b Punch inoculation with P. oryzae conidia was carried out on the leaves of 4-week-old MH86 and sl-MH-1 plants. The infected leaves were photographed at 9 dpi (left); meanwhile fungal biomass was measured to quantify the relative P. oryzae growth in MH86 and sl-MH-1 leaves (right). Bars represent mean values ± SD from three biological replicates. Statistically significant difference was indicated by ** (p < 0.01, Student’s t-test). c. Leaf sheathes of MH86 and sl-MH-1 were inoculated with P. oryzae conidia to monitor the infection process. The infected cells were imaged at 48 and 72 hpi with a microscope under bright field. Bar = 20 μm
