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 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.
- Recommendation The authors suggest simultaneous improvement of salt tolerance at both stages should be possible through marker-assisted selection and breeding.
