Abstract excerpt
The location of major quantitative trait loci (QTL) contributing to stem and leaf [Na(+) ] and [K(+) ] was previously reported in chromosome 7 using two connected populations of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of tomato. HKT1;1 and HKT1;2, two tomato Na(+) -selective class I-HKT transporters, were found to be closely linked, where the maximum logarithm of odds (LOD) score for these QTLs located. When a chromosome...
