Fig. 5: Bowman-birk inhibitor AvrPiz-t interacting protein 4 (APIP4) positively regulates TPIs production and SSB resistance.
From: Cooperative herbivory between two important pests of rice
a The contents of trypsin protease inhibitors (TPIs) in apip4-5, APIP4-OX-16-2, and wild-type (WT) Nipponbare (NPB) rice plants (n = 5). Exact P-values = 0.018 (WT vs apip4-5), 0.0093 (WT vs APIP4-OX-16-2), and 4.90e-05 (apip4-5 vs APIP4-OX-16-2). b Weight of SSB larvae after five days of feeding on apip4 lines (n = 38) and APIP4-OX lines (n = 53) or WT rice plants (n = 36). Exact P-values = 5.46e-03 (WT vs apip4-5), 4.72e-04 (WT vs APIP4-OX-16-2), and 5.21e-10 (apip4-5 vs APIP4-OX-16-2). Boxplots indicate median (middle line), 25th, 75th percentiles (box), and maximum and minimum values (whiskers) as well as outliers (single points). Different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (P < 0.05, one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s honest significant difference test).
