Abstract excerpt
Soil salt-alkalization has become a major environmental stress factor limiting the improvement of maize yield. Discovering and deploying genes related to alkali tolerance is of great significance for enhancing maize alkali resistance. Here, we employed an association panel comprising 212 maize inbred lines to identify genetic loci associated with alkali-stress tolerance at the seedling stage using the...
