High light use efficiency is an important factor for yield improvement during the growing season for winter canola. This study explored the evaluation method of high light use efficiency during the whole growth period in order to screen high light use coefficient of crop genotypes in canola producing areas of Southwest China. The pot experiment was conducted with sixty canola cultivars which had already been planted in the crops planting areas of the middle and upper reaches of Yangtze River. The plant height, root neck diameter, number of pods per main inflorescence, pods per plant, dry weight of shoots, seed weight per plant, pericarp weight per plant, ratio of pericarps to seeds weight per plant, seeds number per pod and 1000-grain weight were investigated under the shading treatment of reducing the incoming solar light by 20%. The high light use coefficient of canola cultivars was evaluated comprehensively by principal component analysis, membership function, cluster analysis and stepwise regression analysis. With these analyses, the original twelve indices related to light use efficiency could be synthesized into the four independent indices which represented 86.4% of all the investigated information of canola with high photosynthetic efficiency. Sixty varieties were classified into three groups by cluster analysis, and ZS12, GYZ6, FY792, RHY6, CZY3 and ZYZ19 displayed higher light use efficiency; such 18 varieties as XDZY9, XY1, YY50 and so on, were medium light efficient ones; and the rest 36 varieties such as LY9, ZYZ781, SG127 and so on, fell to the relatively lower light use efficiency categories. The comprehensive evaluation in this study had screened such four indicators as the stem dry weight per plant, the pod number per plant, the seed number per pod and the 1000-seed weight, which could be regarded as identification indicators for high light use efficiency of canola.
