Improving the salt-tolerance of direct-seeding rice at the seed germination stage is a major goal of breeders. Efficiently identifying salt tolerance loci will help researchers develop effective rice
The genome of Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) shows the presence of six organelle-specific and one plasma membrane (OsNHX1-7) NHX-type cation proton antiporters. Of these, vacuolar-localized O
Quantitative Traits Loci (QTL) linked with salinity stress tolerance at seed germination, seedling emergence and first leaf full expansion growth stages, and their chromosomal locations, percentage of
Salt tolerance in cotton is highly imperative for improvement in the response to decreasing farmland and soil salinization. However, little is known about the genetic basis underlying salt tolerance i
Salinity is a major abiotic constraint for rice farming. Although rice is sensitive to salt stress, tremendous natural variability in world germplasm provides opportunity for both basic and applied re
