Mapping of a major QTL for salt tolerance of mature field-grown maize plants based on SNP markers

Abstract Background Salt stress significantly restricts plant growth and production. Maize is an important food and economic crop but is also a salt sensitive crop. Identification of the genetic architecture controlling salt tolerance facilitates breeders to select salt tolerant lines. However, the...
