The infection of Xoc resulted in diferential expression of 121 and 83 TF genes in most TF families (WRKY, MYB, bZIP, AP2, NAC, zinc finger, bHLH, GRAS, and MADS) in 9804-Rxo1 and 9804 [Additional file 2, 3], but most of differentially expressed TFs were different in 9804-Rxo1 and 9804 except for six TF genes (OsWRKY23, OsWRKY45, OsWRKY76, ANAC071, and RING113A induced and OsIAA21 repressed). This evidence concerns the gene MYB and infection.
