Abstract excerpt
Globally, soil salinization increasingly affects farmland, severely limiting the production of Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). To identify genetic factors for salt tolerance, we analyzed core Tartary buckwheat accessions and utilized differential expression analysis and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), identifying a key domesticated magnesium transporter protein, FtMGT2. A single nucleotide...
