Using three hybrid rice combinations Shanyou 63, Qingyouzao and Xiuyou 57 grown in field (natural condition) as material, effect of chilling (5℃) and light (210 μmol m-2s-1 PFD) on chlorophyll fluorescence at 77K of flag leaves in hybrid rice F1 and its parents were investigated. Results showed that the parameters of fluorescence, Fo, Fm and Fv were decreased by chilling treatment. The cold tolerance among three hybrid rice combinations could be reflected from variable fluorescence. The cold tolerance of F1 hybrid rice was between that of male sterile line and restorer line. During chilling under low light Fo, Fm and Fv increased but Fv/Fm and Fv/Fo did not change. It was demonstrated that the chilling treatment with the lower light intensity had no significant effects on the efficiency of the primary conversion of the light energy of PSⅡ and the transport rate of the light energy of PSⅡ as compared with that of under growing condition. So, the photoinhibition was not occurred in the photochemical reaction of photosynthesis. Based on this result, the flag leaves taken from the field under strong light intensity, under 5℃ and 210μmol m-2s-1PFD treatment, light 210 μmol m-2s-1PFD might facilitate the adaptation of rice to chilling so that the degree of injury of photochemical process in leaves was reduced.
