Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation F4 families differed significantly in plant dry matter production under salt stress.
- Association Rapid seed germination and vegetative growth under salt stress were not significantly correlated.
- Intervention effect Selection for germination salt tolerance significantly improved germination under salt stress.
- Observation Realized heritability of germination salt tolerance was 0.73.
- Intervention effect Germination-based selection did not affect vegetative salt tolerance by absolute growth.
- Intervention effect Germination-based selection did not affect vegetative salt tolerance by relative growth.
- Mechanism Germination and vegetative salt tolerance appear to have different mechanisms in these materials.
- Recommendation Selection protocols should include all critical developmental stages to improve tomato salt tolerance.
