Schematic diagram of the heat tolerant assay system with an artificial rice paddy in the growth chambers. The phytotrons had 24 metal halide lamps in total, and the artificial rice paddy can fit 216 height-adjustable potted plants (diameter 7 cm × height 30 cm), so that the distance between lamps and the tip of panicle could be uniform for all cultivars (see the dashed line in red and “Methods”). In the system, water evacuated from outlet (not shown) circulated through the filtration equipment to a water tank placed outdoors using a pump, and was resupplied to the paddy from an outlet after water temperature was controlled
