Abstract

【Objective】Xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) is considered as a key enzyme in purine metabolism. This paper aims to reveal the physiological mechanism of XDH to relieve high temperature stress by analyzing the physiological indexes of rice seedling leaves differed in expression level of OsXDH under high temperature stress. 【Method】In this work, chlorophyll content, relative water content, soluble protein content, reactive oxygen metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activities, XDH activity, allantoin and allantoate contents were measured under high temperature stress in OsXDH over-expressed transgenic lines and wild type during seedling stage. 【Result】The results revealed that there were no significant difference between wild type and transgenic lines in all tested physiological parameters except XDH activity and ureides (allantoin and allantoate) content before high temperature stress. After high temperature stress for 5 days, compared with the transgenic lines, seedlings of wild type showed significantly decreased chlorophyll content, relative water content, soluble protein content, and antioxidant enzyme activities, but significantly increased contents of H2O2 and Malondialdehyde(MDA). As we know that chlorophyll content, relative water content, and soluble protein content all increased in transgenic lines and wild type after post-stress recovery, especially in transgenic lines. H2O2 and MDA content all decreased. For transgenic lines, these indexes were lower than those in wild type. The XDH enzyme activity and purine metabolites allantoin and allantoate contents in the wild type and transgenic lines were induced by high temperature. OsXDH over-expressed transgenic lines had significantly higher XDH enzyme activity and allantoin and allantoate contents compared with wild type throughout the process. 【Conclusion】XDH can effectively improve the tolerance of rice seedlings to high temperature stress by regulating the synthesis of ureides, compensating their antioxidant capacity and enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes.
