- Abstract
Heat-tolerant species have become increasingly important because of climate change; however, a selection system for woody plants is not well established. This study was conducted to establish a selection system for heat-tolerant woody plant species and to select heat-tolerant species. After selecting heat-tolerant woody plants and applying heat stress to 27 species, the electrolyte leakage index (ELI) was measured. The ELI of the heat-tolerant species was lower than that of the non heat-tolerant species, and they survived well after heat stress treatment. For the preselected species, the degree of cell death was measured by Evans blue staining method, and the heat stress recovery ability was measured by a 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining method. The species showed less cell death even after heat treatment, and oxidative stress was low after recovery from heat stress. Traditional screening methods are mainly performed through field screening; however, this is difficult because it requires many samples and considerable time. The results of this study are relatively rapid, reproducible, and highly sensitive, so it is judged to be a method that can complement the existing traditional method as a heat-tolerant plant selection system. The results of this study can be widely used for the selection and breeding of heat-tolerant plants in preparation for climate change.
