Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Seedling establishment is a crucial and vulnerable stage in the crop life cycle which determines further plant growth. While many studies are available on salt tolerance at the vegetative stage, the mechanisms and genetic bases of salt tolerance during seedling establishment have been poorly investigated. Here, a novel and accurate phenotyping protocol was applied to characterize the response of...
