Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Salt stress reduced growth of both tomato parents, less in PI174263 than UCT5.
- Observation Under salt stress PI174263 leaves accumulated less sodium than UCT5.
- Observation Under salt stress PI174263 leaves accumulated less chloride than UCT5.
- Observation Under salt stress PI174263 leaves accumulated more calcium than UCT5.
- Association Growth under salt stress correlated positively with leaf calcium.
- Association Growth under salt stress correlated negatively with leaf sodium.
- Association Growth and leaf solute potential were uncorrelated under salt stress.
- Observation Absolute growth under salt stress was mainly genetically controlled by additive effects.
- Observation Relative growth under salt stress was mainly genetically controlled by additive effects.
- Observation Leaf sodium accumulation under salt stress was mainly genetically controlled by additive effects.
- Observation Leaf calcium accumulation under salt stress was mainly genetically controlled by additive effects.
- Mechanism Maintenance of high tissue calcium was considered essential and heritable for PI174263 salt adaptation.
- Mechanism Sodium exclusion from shoots was considered essential and heritable for PI174263 salt adaptation.
- Recommendation Tissue ion concentration may be useful for selecting salt-tolerant tomato progeny from PI174263.
