View larger version (20K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Changes in (A) leaf fresh weight, (B) relative water content, (C) chlorophyll content, and (D) lipid peroxidation in cold-acclimated and nonacclimated rice leaves during acclimation, chilling, and recovery. The plants were exposed to 15°C (cold acclimated) or 25°C (nonacclimated) for 3 d (acclimation), chilled for 3 d at 5°C (chilling), and allowed to recover for 5 d at 25°C (recovery). Values are the mean ± SE of three replicates. In some cases, the error bar is obscured by the symbol.

Changes in (A) maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and (B) quantum yield of photosystem in cold-acclimated and nonacclimated rice leaves during acclimation, chilling, and recovery. The plants were exposed to 15°C (cold acclimated) or 25°C (nonacclimated) for 3 d (acclimation), chilled for 3 d at 5°C (chilling), and allowed to recover for 5 d at 25°C (recovery). Values are the mean ± SE of three replicates. In some cases, the error bar is obscured by the symbol.

Changes in (A) SOD, (B) CAT, (C) APX, and (D) GR activities in cold-acclimated and nonacclimated rice leaves during acclimation, chilling, and recovery. The plants were exposed to 15°C (cold acclimated) or 25°C (nonacclimated) for 3 d (acclimation), chilled for 3 d at 5°C (chilling), and allowed to recover for 5 d at 25°C (recovery). Values are the mean ± SE of three replicates. In some cases, the error bar is obscured by the symbol.

Changes in (A) SOD, (B) CAT, (C) APX, and (D) GR activities in cold-acclimated and nonacclimated rice roots during acclimation, chilling, and recovery. The plants were exposed to 15°C (cold acclimated) or 25°C (nonacclimated) for 3 d (acclimation), chilled for 3 d at 5°C (chilling), and allowed to recover for 5 d at 25°C (recovery). Values are the mean ± SE of three replicates. In some cases, the error bar is obscured by the symbol.

Changes in (A) SOD, (B) CAT, (C) APX, and (D) GR isozyme profiles in cold-acclimated (lower panel) and nonacclimated rice leaves (upper panel) during acclimation (1–3 d), chilling (4–6 d), and recovery (7–11 d). The plants were exposed to 15°C (cold-acclimated) or 25°C (nonacclimated) for 3 d (acclimation), chilled for 3 d at 5°C (chilling), and allowed to recover for 5 d at 25°C (recovery).
