The premise of studies on rice chilling tolerance is to find an efficient and accurate way to evaluate chilling tolerance of rice seedling. In this study, we developed an efficient technology to evaluate the cold tolerance at seedling stage by using a constant temperature water bath, based on the characteristics of excellent temperature uniformity for circulation of water. In this method, the setting temperature of environment temperature and water bath was 20°C and 4°C, respectively. From the results of two subspecies (indica/xian and japonica/geng), we summarized the reference treatment time for different survival rate of cultivars. Some attention to the cold treatment procedure was also discussed.
