Abstract:

Three sugarcane hybrid varieties (ROC22, Co281, KQ01-1390) and three original breeding varieties (28NG16, 57NG155, 96NG16) were used to assess the ability of cold tolerance through investigating the effects of low temperature on mature sugarcane appearance, relative permeability of leave plasma, contents of osmotic adjustment substances and activities of antioxidant enzymes in sugarcane stems. Treated at -3 ℃ for three days at nigh, symptoms such as withered and curly leaves, broken and black growth point, black and soft lateral bud appeared. Moreover, water boiling symptom in inner stem tissues was observed after ripping sugarcane stem. The relative electrical conductivity of the leaves increased, the contents of malonaldehyde (MAD) and proline (Pro), and the activities of catalase (CAT) increased, but the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) decreased in sugarcane stems under cold stress. Membership function method was used to assess the ability of cold tolerance, the results showed the order of cold tolerance was KQ01-1390>Co281>ROC22>28NG16>57NG155>96NG16, indicating that the original breeding were more sensitive to low temperature and showed weaker ability of cold tolerance than the hybrid varieties.
