Resistance in transgenic rice plants constitutively expressing mASAL. a Representative images showing whole plant infection assay of control and transgenic plants at 7dpi. M, negative control without R. solani inoculam; C, untransformed plant infected with R. solani; 1,2,3 and 4 are infected transgenic plants of the lines RSR20(T12), RSR28(T13), and RSR34(T18,T19), respectively. Each plant represents the infected portion of one representative tiller from each transgenic line. b Response of transgenic lines and non-transgenic control to the sheath blight infection was scored as the relative lesion height and expressed as the percentage disease index (PDI) in transgenic line and wild-type plants. The values were shown as the mean ± standard error (SE). Individual tillers were considered as separate replications. Data sets were analyzed for significant difference using ANOVA (P < 0.05)
