Abstract:In order to explore effects of high temperature stress effects on physiology and ecology, and comparing the effects on pollen grain diameter, pollen vitality and seed-setting rate at the high temperature condition during the flowering stage, different high-temperature stress was conducted by using temperature\|tolerant rice cultivar (Qianjiang 3 B) and temperature\|sensitive rice cultivar (Xieqingzao B). The results showed that a small effect on pollen grain vitality, anther cracking percentage and anther cracking hole for Qianjiang 3B was caused at high-temperature stress compared with the normal-temperature. But significant effect was observed for Xieqingzao B. The longtime high-temperature stress might result in lower seed fertility even for temperature tolerant rice cultivar. In additional, the third day after flowering was the most susceptible to high-temperature stress for both varieties. These results provides theory evidence for selecting heat tolerant rice varieties.
