Figure 8. High temperature influences amino acid biosynthesis in rice plants.

Leaf total amino acids content of wild type and transgenic plants grown under long day condition and at either moderate or high temperature for four weeks (A). Quantitative relative gene expression of OsGs1;2, GAT1 and GAD3 in the leaves of plants grown either at moderate temperature (control) or exposed to 1, 6 and 25 hr to high temperature (45°C) (B–D). Data are means ± SD (n = 3) and are representative of similar results from three independent experiments.
