Fig. 5: Resistance of genome-edited rice lines to different Xoo strains.

Reactions of IR64 SWEET-promoter-edited lines to three representative Xoo strains (data from ref. 24). Lesion lengths were measured at 14 DAI with strains PXO99A, PXO339 and PXO86. Infections were carried out at the maximum tillering stage by inoculating 3–6 leaf samples using a leaf clipping. Four replicate experiments with two plants each were performed per strain (four replicates per strain, two plants per replicate (n = 8)) and scored for 3–6 inoculated leaf samples per plant. The experiment was repeated three times independently.
