Title
Comparison of salt tolerance during seed germination and vegetative growth in tomato by QTL mapping
M R Foolad Genome 1999. doi:10.1139/g98-163
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Seven QTLs were identified for salt tolerance during seed germination.
- Observation Five QTLs were identified for salt tolerance during vegetative growth.
- Observation Most germination QTL positions differed from vegetative-growth QTL positions.
- Observation Some germination and vegetative-growth QTL positions coincided.
- Association The authors interpret salt tolerance at germination as independent of tolerance during vegetative growth in these materials.
- Recommendation The authors recommend simultaneous improvement of tolerance at both stages through marker-assisted breeding.
