FIGURE 8

Effect of a 42°C pre-treatment, applied to enzyme extracts in vitro, on their residual XET activity (subsequently assayed at 25°C). The extracts had been prepared from (Inline graphic) root apical regions, (Inline graphic) root sub-apical regions, and (Inline graphic) shoots of non-stressed 3-day-old wheat seedlings. Three cultivars were compared: (A) Ardente, (B) Creso, and (C) Svevo, which differ in heat tolerance. XET activity, remaining in the extract after the in vitro heat pre-treatment, is given as the fluorescence intensity of the generated xyloglucan–XXXGol-SR expressed as a percentage of that produced by the corresponding untreated extracts. Data are the mean ± standard deviation of six independent replicates (n = 6).
