Abstract:Soil salinity is a serious concern for tomato culture, affecting both yield and quality parameters. Although some genes involved in tomato salt tolerance have been identified, their genetic diversity has been rarely studied. In the present study, we assessed salt tolerance-related traits at juvenile and adult stages in a large core collection and identified salt tolerance QTLs by genome-wide association study (GWAS). The results suggested that a major QTL is involved in leaf sodium accumulation at both physiol… Show more
