Characteristics of chlorophyll fluorescence and antioxidative system were investigated in rice (Oryza sativa L.) super-hybrid Liangyoupeijiu (LYPJ), maternal cultivar Peiai64s, and paternal cultivar indica rice 9311 under chilling stress. During 6-d chilling treatment, chlorophyll content of all three genotypes was gradually declined. However, the decrease in photosystem 2 (PS 2) maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and quantum yield of PS 2 (ΦPS2) was less expressive in LYPJ than in parental cultivars The electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content in all cultivars increased after chilling treatment, but LYPJ exhibited the least increasing tendency. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) were higher in LYPJ than in parental cultivars. The results demonstrated that tolerance to chilling stress in LYPJ might be adopted mostly from its maternal cultivar.
