Screening and Identification of Chilling Resistant Germplasm Resources in Maize
A total of 296 maize inbred lines were used as materials in this paper. Three chilling resistant maize inbred lines were screened through germination under chilling stress, chilling treatment at seedling stage and determination of physiological and biochemical indicators, combined with verification in field condition. In addition, three pairs of EST-PCR markers were developed to distinguish the chilling sensitive and resistant inbred lines.
