Abstract: To obtain elite rice intermediate lines for further breeding of rice varieties with cold and drought tolerance, the cold and drought tolerance of the hybrid progenies derived from Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) and cultivated rice were studied. The germination rate, germination index and survival seedling rate were chosen as evaluation indexes and employed to identify cold tolerance under different temperatures. 8 morphological traits related to drought tolerance were analyzed to identify the drought tolerance at seedling stage. The results showed that strain M65 and M132 had obviously higher germination rate and germination index than other tested strains at low temperature 7-10℃, which indicated that strain M65 and M132 had comparatively stronger cold tolerance at germination period. Under low temperature treatment of 7℃ for 10 days (7℃/10d), strain M10 and M117 had relatively higher survival seedling rate of 72% and 81.25%, respectively. This indicated that strain M10 and M117 had stronger cold tolerance at the budburst period. Low temperature treatments of 7-10℃ and 7℃/10d were suggested for evaluation of cold tolerance at the germination and budburst period for Indica rice, respectively. The comprehensive drought tolerance D value of strain M61 and M117 were higher than that of others at seedling stage. It indicated that strain M61 and M117 had stronger drought tolerance at seedling stage. These tolerant strains identified could be used for further rice breeding for cold and drought tolerance and genetic studies on the tolerance mechanism of Dongxiang wild rice.
