Salinity stress tolerance linked QTL identified in CM72 x Gairdner doubled haploid population.
QTL linked with germination percentage in NaCl treatments of 150 mM (GP150), 300 mM (GP300a,GP300b); fresh weight per plant in control treatment (FWct), fresh weight per plant in 150 mM NaCl treatments at seedling emergence (FWem1, FWem2, FWem3), and fresh weight per plant at first leaf expansion (FWex1, FWex2); dry weight per plant in control treatment (DWct), dry weight per plant in 150 mM NaCl treatments at seedling emergence (DWem1, DWem2), and dry weight per plant at first leaf expansion (DWex1, DWex2)in a hydroponic study; and QTL linked with plant height at maturity (Ht1, Ht2).
