Abstract excerpt
With rising food demands, crop production on salinized lands is increasingly necessary. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus), a moderately salt-tolerant crop, exhibits a tradeoff where more vigorous, high-performing genotypes have a greater proportional decline in biomass under salinity stress. Prior research has found deviations from this relationship across genotypes. Here, we identified the traits and genomic regions...
