Response to High Temperature in Flag Leaves of Super High-Yielding Rice Pei'ai 64S/E32 and Liangyoupeijiu

摘要

Two newly bred hybrid rice combinations, super high-yielding Liangyoupeijiu (Pei'ai 64S × 9311 ) and Pei'ai 64S/E32 (Pei'ai 64S×E32) were used to investigate the photosynthetic characteristics under high temperature in comparison with hybrid rice Shangyou 63. High temperature caused a decreased photosynthetic efficiency and aggravated photoinhibition. The optimum temperature for photosynthetic electron transportation and photosynthetic CO2fixation were about 28℃ and 35-40℃ respectively.Linear electron transportation is more sensitive to high temperature than the photochemical process. The mechanism of high temperature adaptation was possibly as follows: super high-yielding rice has quickly increasing carotenoid, which acted as a more favorable antioxidant system to reduce the active oxygen production and avoid damage to the photosynthesis system; super high-yielding rice has a higher efficiency of xanthophylls cycle to dissipate excess heat energy; super high-yielding rice has a more stable photosynthetic function, higher photosynthetic efficiency and more heat stable protein content.
