QTL mapping and haplotype analysis reveal candidate genes for seedling-stage salinity tolerance in rice
Soil salinization is a major constraint on rice production, and severe salinity levels lead to pronounced yield losses. Therefore, elucidating the genetic architecture of salinity tolerance and identifying candidate genes underlying this trait are crucial for molecular design breeding. In this study, a popul...
