[Method] Different temperature treatments （33 and 25 ℃ of daily mean temperature for high and normal temperature treatments, respectively） and the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR （ FQPCR） were used to analyze the expression patterns of seven isoforms （AGPS1, AGPS2a, AGPS2b, AGPL1, AGPL2, AGPL3 and AGPL4） of ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase （AGPase） which was the key enzyme in starch synthesis and metabolism in rice endosperm of two rice varieties Teqing and Thai Fragrant Rice. [Result] The AGPase isoforms AGPS2b, AGPL2 and AGPL3 had much higher expression than the other four isoforms, thus they were thought to be the main expression patterns of AGPase in rice endosperm. The relative expressions of AGPL2 was the highest among all the isoforms. The relative expressions of AGPS2b, AGPL2 and AGPL3 were higher in the normal temperature treatment than in the high temperature treatment in both rice varieties. The relative expression of the three enzyme genes in milk stages in Teqing was higher than those in Thai Fragrant Rice under different temperature treatments. [Conclusion] This study provides a theoretical basis for further use of molecular biology techniques to cultivate stable high-quality rice varieties.展开更多
