The results showed that the rice seedlings treated with cold tolerant seed-coating agents under chilling stress maintained dramatically higher root vigor, POD, CAT and SOD activities, and chlorophyll content, had lower MDA content and electrolyte leakage, and accumulated more soluble sugar and free proline, when compared with the control without the treatment, and finally showed lower plant injury rate. It was indicated that the cold tolerant seed coating agent improved the ability of rice seedlings in resisting to chilling stress. YKZYJ was ranked the first in terms of the efficiency in cold tolerance among the four cold tolerant seed-coating agents tested.展开更多

The results showed that grafting improved the chilling tolerance. Compared with own-rooted watermelon seedlings, the grafted watermelon seedlings had lower chilling injury index, lower electrolytic leakage (%), lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content, higher chlorophyll and proline content, and higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (AsA-POD) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DR) in the leaves under low temperature stress. There was a considerable difference of chilling tolerance among different grafted watermelon seedlings due to the difference of rootstock chilling tolerance. After low temperature treatment, the grafted seedling with higher chilling tolerance had lower electrolytic leakage (%),lower MDA content, higher proline content and higher activities of SOD, AsA-POD and DR in the leaves compared with the grafted seedling with weaker chilling tolerance. From these, we could conclude that chilling tolerance of watermelon seedlings may be related to higher antioxidative ability and membrane stability in the plants. The chilling tolerance of grafted seedling could be properly evaluated by comprehensive physiological indexes but not a single physiological index.展开更多
