Effects of TALI translocation into the nuclei of rice cells on the expression of genes involved in the rice defense response and Xoc virulence. TALI localization to rice cell nuclei at 9 h post-inoculation (hpi) (a), expression of rice defense response genes at 24 hpi (b), in planta bacterial populations at 0 and 72 hpi (c), and disease severity at 10 days post-inoculation (dpi) (d) were determined. The data shown are mean values ± SDs (n = 3). The P values are from two-sided unpaired Student’s t tests (P < 0.01). In d, the leaf images are representative of 30 leaves of 15 plants tested in 3 experimental replications per genotype (WT, OsIMPα1b-ED#6, or OsIMPα1b-ED#17)
