In this study, the researchers used two mid-indica rice cultivars (Huanghuazhan: heat-tolerant, Fengliangyou: heat-sensitive) as materials to conduct a pot experiment in controlled-environment chambers to learn the effects of high temperature (40 ) on the rice organ morphology and dry matter accumulation during panicle initiation stage, and respectively put the two cultivars in high temperature (40 , 10:00-15:00) and normal temperature (32 , 10:00-15:00) during stage I (branch-spikelet differentiation) and stage (pollen mother cell formation-meiosis). It needs to be clear that the rich which was grown in ambient condition is CK (Control Check).




The results show that:

  • At stage I, high temperature inhibits panicle initiation and extends the panicle initiation stage by 2.5-8.8 days; at stage , high temperature extends the stage by 6.8-7.1 days, which shortens the length of the top internode and reduces the heading degree, particularly in Fengliangyu6.


  • Heat stress can decrease the number and the size of spikelets dramatically at panicle initiation stage because of the differences in treatment period. Moreover, high temperature inhibits spikelet differentiation at stage I, and heat stress significantly promotes spikelet degeneration at stage with a degeneration rate of over 50% of the two cultivars, and the ratio of Fengliangyou6 is higher than the heat-tolerant cultivars. Meanwhile, high temperature can also dramatically decline the size of anther and the spikelet fertility at stage .


  • High temperature can promote the growth of the top-three leaves, especially at stage . However, heat stress has no significant effect on the leaf photosynthesis and dry matter accumulation of single main stem at the two stages. There is no significant influence on dry matter accumulation of culm, leaves and panicle at stage I with heat stress (40 ), but there is a significant decrease in the dry matter accumulation of culm and panicle at stage with heat stress, however, heat stress will lead to upper-internode tillering and resultant dry matter accumulation, over all there is no significant decrease in dry matter accumulation of single stem.
