Abstract:Background
Salinity is a significant abiotic stress that affects plants from germination through all growth stages. This study was aimed to determine the morpho-physiological and genetic variations in BC1F2, BC2F1 and F3 generations resulting from the cross combination WH1105 × Kharchia 65.
Results
A significant reduction in germination percentage was observed under salt stress in BC1F2 and F3 seeds. Correlation, heritability in the broad sense, ph… Show more
