Cytokinin oxidase (CKX) activity in the spikelets sampled on various days after anthesis (DAA): a) lax-panicle (Upahar) and compact-panicle (OR-1918) rice cultivars were grown in field and comparative analysis of spatio-temporal changes in the enzyme activity was done between the apical and basal spikelets of the individual cultivars; b) the compact-panicle rice cultivar OR-1918 was grown in RCC pots, treated with 50 μM BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine) through root application before heading and comparative analysis of temporal changes in the enzyme activity was done between apical/basal spikelets from the BAP treated and control (not treated with BAP) plants. Each data point is the mean of three independent estimations ± SD. The two data points of the same sampling day marked with ‘*’ differ significantly at least at p ≤ 0.05, as seen by ‘t’ test
