Description:
The effect of heat stress (35 to 50 °C) on photosynthesis was investigated in heat tolerant (N 22) and heat sensitive (IR 8) cultivars of rice {Oryza sativa L.). The net photosynthetic rate showed greater thermal stability in N 22 than in IR 8. The relative dechne of the rate of whole chain electron transport and photosystem 2 (PS2) activity was more pronounced in IR 8 than N 22. In both cultivars photosystem (PSI) activity was stimulated by thermal treatment. Chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence transient arising ffom PS2 showed inhibition in both cultivars at 45 and 50 °C. Maximum fluorescence decreased more in IR 8 than in N 22 by high temperature treatment.
