The experiment was carried out in growth chamber to investigate the effect of high temperature on the activities of the key enzymes associated with starch synthesis and hormone contents in endosperm of two rice (Oryza sativa) lines including the heat-tolerant line 996 and heat-sensitive line 4628. The results showed that AGPase, SSS and SBE enzyme activities increased under high temperature stress, then decreased after the period of the peak, the decreasing extent in heat resistant line 996 was lower than that in heat sensitive line 4628. There...
