Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of canopy temperature depression (CTD) and photosynthetic as well as physiological characteristics of early inbred rice varieties with different canopy temperatures, whereby providing theoretical bases for rapid screening of elite germplasms and making reasonable cultivation measures. Using three low and high canopy temperature varieties grown under the same condition of cultivation and management measures, the present study determined the canopy and atmospheric temperature at booting and heading stages, and investigated photosynthetic characteristics, chlorophyll relative content (SPAD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) activities, the contents of malonaldehyde, soluble sugars and soluble proteins, and then examined the relationship between CTD and leaf photosynthesis and physiological characteristics. Results showed that compared with high canopy temperature varieties, low canopy temperature varieties had higher net photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates, higher contents of soluble sugars and chlorophyll, and greater activities of SOD, CAT, and POD, lower malonaldehyde content, but had no significant difference in soluble proteins. Correlation analysis indicated that CTD was significantly and positively related with net photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance and transpiration rates of the flag leaf, negatively correlated with the concentration of intercellular CO2, but not significantly. Canopy temperature depression was significantly and positively correlated with the content of soluble sugars, the SPAD value, and the activity of SOD, but was significantly and negatively correlated with the content of malonaldehyde.
