[Objective]This study aimed to further expand the production and application of Cinnamomum japonicum Sieb.and investigate the mechanism of cold resistance in evergreen broad-leaved tree species.[Method]Using adult Cinnamonum campora as control,during the entire wintering period from October 2011 to March 2012,the wintering adaptability of C.japonicum leaves at different ages was observed;the electrolyte leakage was measured under indoor low-temperature treatment to calculate the semi-lethal temperature(LT50)by fitting Logistic equation,thus conducting dynamic analysis and comprehensive evaluation of the cold resistance in C.japonicum.[Result]The results showed that the chilling injuries in leaves of different materials were aggravated with the decreasing temperature.According to the results of five times of dynamic observation on wintering adaptability,the cold resistance in different materials presented a decreasing order of adult C.japonicum>medium-aged C.japonicum>young C.japonicum>adult C.campora.The relationship between indoor low temperature and leaf injury rate showed an S-shaped curve.The significance test suggested relatively high fitting degree with Logistic equation.The semi-lethal temperature presented a V-shaped curve with the changing temperature and reached the minimum during late December to early February in the following year.The dynamic changes and minimum value of semi-lethal temperature indicated a consistent order of cold resistance in different materials to the results of wintering adaptability observation.Therefore,results of two analysis methods could be combined for cold resistance evaluation.[Conclusion]This study laid the foundation for the introduction and popularization of C.japonicum in northern gardens along the Yangtze River.

The dynamic changes and minimum value of semi-lethal temperature indicated a consistent order of cold resistance in different materials to the results of wintering adaptability observation. Herefore, results of two analysis methods could be combined for cold resistance evaluation.
