Disease severity of rice blast in leaves of elicitor-treated and control-treated rice plants.

Soil-grown rice seedlings were sprayed with M. oryzae spores. The disease scores of the rice seedlings were evaluated on a scale of 0–9 at 7 and 15 days post-inoculation.
*Data are representative of three replicates and sixteen plants per replicate. Values are the means±standard deviation. Within columns, values with different letters are significantly different at the 1% significance level.
