Identification of heat-tolerant chrysanthemum (Dendranthema ×grandifolia (Ramat.) Kitamura) genotypes for commercial production in hot areas of the world is desirable. The extent to which electrolyte leakage from chry- santhemum leaf discs, measured using a test for cell membrane thermostability (CMT), could be related to the delay in fl owering induced by heat in the fi eld-grown plants was determined. The relationship between the relative injury (RI) occurring in leaf tissue discs of chrysanthemum cultivars and treatment temperature was sigmoidal. A single tem- perature treatment at 50 °C resulted in injury values near the midpoint of the sigmoidal response curve and showed the greatest sensitivity in detecting genotypic differences in heat tolerance. The cultivars with a low RI value are those with the greater CMT and shorter heat-induced delay to fl owering. High temperatures during the growing season can have con- siderable detrimental effects on plant growth and yield (Hall, 1992). Techniques for rapid and easy identifi cation of heat- tolerant genotypes during breeding programs for sub-tropical and tropical areas are desirable. Cell membrane thermostability (CMT), measured as electrolyte leakage from leaf discs over a range of temperatures, is a sensitive and rapid method to evalu- ate heat tolerance in plants (Sullivan, 1972; Wu and Wallner, 1993). Several studies have shown the effectiveness of CMT testing in detecting genetic variability for heat tolerance among several agronomic, fruit, and vegetable crops (Chen et al., 1982; Ingram and Buchanan, 1984; Lester, 1985; Martineau et al., 1979; Saadalla et al., 1990; Sullivan and Ross, 1979). Leaf CMT was highly correlated with fruit set and yield under high temperature conditions (Fokar et al., 1998; Martineau et al., 1979; Sullivan and Ross, 1979). However, little information is available on using CMT to indicate heat tolerance of fl oricultural crops.
