XDH enzyme activity in wild-type and transgenic lines at different growth stages. The seedling, full heading and maturation stages of rice were grown to 14d, 60d, and 90d after sowing, respectively. The penultimate leaves were selected at seedling stage and sword leaves of transgenic plants were selected for extraction soluble protein at full heading and maturation stages. Each lane in the gel was loaded with equal content soluble protein. XDH activity was detected in gel with hypoxanthine as substrate. Numbers above the lanes indicate relative intensity obtained by scanning the formazan bands with a computing laser densitometer using Image J 2x software
