Phenotypic reactions of rice introgression line H471 and its recurrent parent Huang-Hua-Zhan (HHZ) to an infection byXanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzaestrain PXO99^A.aPhenotypes of HHZ and H471 plants infected withXoostrain PXO99^A. Photographs were taken 14 days after inoculation.bLesion lengths on H471 and HHZ plants infected with PXO99^Aat 14 dpi. Data are presented as the mean of nine independent plants for each line; vertical bars indicate the standard deviation. *** significant differences between HHZ and H471 atp < 0.001 based on Student’st-test.cGrowth curves of PXO99^Ain H471 and HHZ. CFU indicates colony-forming units.dTransmission electron microscopy analysis of H471 and HHZ mesophyll cells after the inoculation with PXO99^A.
