Abstract:
      Using Xianyu335 as material, the experiment was ca rried out to analyze the influence of chilling stress (15℃) at jointing stage a nd bell mouthed stage on growth parameters and yield of spring maize. The resul ts showed that chilling stress led to the significant reduction of plant height, plant biomass and leaf area, and the influence of chilling stress at jointing s tage was more serious than that at bell-mouthed stage. The photosynthetic rate a nd transpiration rate decreased significantly under chilling stress, by around 1 0% and 58%~64% respectively. The response characteristics of canopy spectral re flectance to chilling stress at different developmental stages were the same on the whole. In visible band, the canopy spectral reflectance under chilling stres s was increased, while in near infrared band (780~1 350 nm), it was decreased obviously. The yield of spring maize under chilling stress at jointing stage was reduced by 34% and that at bell-mouthed stage was reduced by 38%. Therefore, t he influence of chilling stress at bell-mouthed stage was more remarkable than that at jointing stage.
