In this study, with six bitter gourd germplasms as experimental materials, the cold injury index of bitter gourd was analyzed under low temperature treatment, the changes in physiological indices were revealed, and the main agronomic traits were measured. The results showed that the cold injury index of bitter gourd was in very significant negative correlation with SOD activity, POD activity and PRO content, in significant negative correlation with CAT activity, in very significant negative correlation with flowering node and commodity rate, but in significant positive correlation with female flower ratio. It was found that that cold injury index, SOD activity, POD activity, CAT activity and PRO content could serve as the cold tolerance identification indices for bitter gourd at seedling stage, and flowering node and commodity rate could be used as the auxiliary indices for field cold tolerance identification.展开更多
