Low temperature is one of the main environmental factors affecting the growth, yield and distribution of sugarcane. It is of great significance to explore the physiological response characteristics of sugarcane under low temperature stress and screen strong cold-tolerant sugarcane parent materials for guiding sugarcane breeding and promoting the development of sugarcane industry. In this study, eight different sugarcane varieties and one sugarcane wild species (Erianthus fulvus 99-1 clone) were used as the experimental materials to study the physiological index response after low temperature stress treatment, and the cold tolerance of the nine materials was comprehensively evaluated by principal component analysis, fuzzy membership function method and cluster analysis. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), chlorophyll (Chl), soluble sugar (SS) and soluble protein (SP) in most materials were higher than those of CK after low temperature stress (3 ℃, 3 days). The content of proline (Pro) in all materials was higher than that of CK, while the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was lower. The activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) in most materials were higher than those of CK. According to the comprehensive evaluation value (D) and cluster analysis, the nine materials were divided into three groups: strong cold resistance type (E. fulvus 99-1, Yacheng 89-9, ROC10), moderate cold resistance type (ROC20, Yuetang 93-159, Huangjiali, ROC16) and weak cold resistance type (Dianzhe 01-58, ROC22). The results indicate that different sugarcane varieties have different adaptability to low temperature. Strong cold-tolerant sugarcane varieties can quickly adjust themselves under adversity, reasonably increase the content of osmotic adjustment substances and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, further remove harmful substances such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body, and balance cell metabolism process, so as to better adapt to low temperature environment. This study would lay a foundation for exploring the regulation mechanism of sugarcane response to low temperature stress and breeding new sugarcane varieties with strong cold tolerance.
