Title
Comparison of salt tolerance during seed germination and vegetative growth in tomato by QTL mapping
M.R. Foolad Genome 1999. doi:10.1139/gen-42-4-727
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association A small but significant correlation (r = -0.22) was found between seed germination rate and plant survival under salt stress.
- Observation Seven QTLs were identified for salt tolerance during seed germination.
- Observation Five QTLs were identified for salt tolerance during vegetative growth.
- Observation QTL locations for germination mostly differed from those for vegetative growth, with some coincident locations.
- Association Salt tolerance during seed germination was independent of that during vegetative growth in these tomato materials.
