Figure 7
Enhanced resistance of transgenic lines to highly virulent isolates of R. solani and seed germination analysis. (a) Bar diagram showing percentage of survival tillers in T2 transgenic lines (CN5-2-1, C8-9-1, and N4-3-2) compared to wild type (WT) after 21 dpi. Bar represents mean ± SE of three independent experiments. (b) Images showing more number of surviving tillers in T2 transgenic lines (CN5-2-1, C8-9-1, and C4-3-2) compared to WT after 21 dpi. (c) Percentage of filled grains per panicle on transgenic and non-transformed control after 21 dpi. Bar represents mean ± SE of five independent experiments. (d) Images showing more grain count per panicle in transgenic plants after sheath blight infection with respect to WT at 21 dpi. (e) Images showing seed germination and phenotypic evaluation of T3 transgenic and wild type (WT) control seeds at juvenile stage.
