However, the role of Spd in conferring heat tolerance in rice is not well documented. Conventional japonica rice varieties Wuyunjing 24 and Ningjing 3 were treated with high temperatures at 37.5\/27.0\u00b0C (day\/night) and foliar sprayed with 1 mmol L-1 Spd after flowering. Results showed activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities were deceased during high temperature treatment and eventually lead to the malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation. Exogenous Spd significantly increased both SOD and POD activities at the later stage of high-temperature treatment, and reduced MDA accumulation were identified in both rice varieties. Application of Spd further increased the amount of soluble sugars during high temperature stress and that maintained the osmotic equilibrium of rice leaves. Spd significantly increased photosystem II (FPSII), photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR), variable fluorescence\/maximum fluorescence ratio (Fv'\/Fm'), stomatal conductance and the photochemical reaction of light energy ratio (Pr), and ultimately improved the photosynthetic and transpiration rate during high temperature stress. In conclusion, exogenous Spd can effectively alleviate the adverse consequences of high temperature and could be further applied to provide strategies in mitigating the challenges of global warming-induced yield loss and other possible relevant issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/fp17149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,19]],"date-time":"2018-03-19T18:59:33Z","timestamp":1521485973000},"page":"911-921","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["Exogenous spermidine enhances the photosynthetic and antioxidant capacity of rice under heat stress during early grain-filling period"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"She","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ACollege of Agronomy, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."},{"name":"BJiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center for Modern Crop Production, Nanjing 210095, PR China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haixiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ACollege of Agronomy, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSocial Sciences Editorial Departments, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xia","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ACollege of Agronomy, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ACollege of Agronomy, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."},{"name":"BJiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center for Modern Crop Production, Nanjing 210095, PR China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenzhu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ACollege of Agronomy, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanfeng","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ACollege of Agronomy, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China."},{"name":"BJiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center for Modern Crop Production, Nanjing 210095, PR China."},{"name":"DCorresponding author.
