Gene expression profile of rice in response to the blast fungus,
Magnaporthe oryzae. Three lines of rice cultivar Nipponbare carrying the blast resistance genes (
Pia, Pish) were inoculated with two strains of
M. oryzae harboring
AVR-Pia and
AVR-Pish (
Details of materials). Rice seedlings at the 4-leaf stage were inoculated with the conidial suspension of
M. oryzae and the leaves were harvested at 1, 2, 3, and 5 days post inoculation (dpi) (
Inoculation method). A total of 108 samples in three replicates were used for hybridization using the Agilent one-color (Cy3) microarray-based gene analysis system. The expression profile for each gene is shown as raw data representing Cy3 signal intensity
and normalized data (log2) (
Expression profile format). Search options include keyword search for individual RAP locus ID, gene name and accession number, or chromosome search to get a list of all genes for each chromosome.
