Estimation of Genetic Parameters for Salinity Tolerance in Early Growth Stages of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Genotypes

Genetic Analysis of Salt Tolerance in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)

“…The identification of genes whose expression enables plants adaptation to salt stress is essential for breeding programs of this important oil crop. Available data for salt tolerance in important cereals including [wheat [5,13]; barley [14], rice [15], maize [16] and oil seeds including brassica [17] and cotton [18] suggested that both additive and non-additive gene effects are important in controlling tolerance.…”
