Climate warming affects rice seed vigor during ripening, which plays a crucial role in seed quality. However, the actual response of rice seed vigor to warming is still unclear. In this study, seeds after warming treatment in a double rice cropping system were used to determine seed vigor and related physiological traits during germination. Warming treatment significantly improved the germination index (GI), seed vigor index (VI), and seedling dry weight (SDW) for the late-season rice seeds but had no effect on hull thickness, grain weight, and starch and protein contents for both early- and late-season rice seeds, and these parameters were highly associated with germination rate, GI, VI, and SDW. Warming treatment increased gibberellin (GA) content and α-amylase and β-amylase activities in endosperm and coleoptile in both seasons during the later stage of germination, reaching a significant level on the 7th d. Moreover, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content was consistently increased in the coleoptile but decreased in the endosperm in response to warming, and warming did not affect zeatin content. These results suggest that future global warming will improve rice seed vigor by regulating the synthesis of endogenous hormones and amylases, especially in the late-season rice.
