Background Medicago truncatula is a model legume whose genome is currently being
sequenced by an international consortium. Abiotic stresses such as salt stress limit plant …

We used cDNA microarrays containing∼ 9,000 unigenes to identify 486 salt responsive
expressed sequence tags (ESTs)(representing∼ 450 unigenes) in shoots of the highly salt …

Progressive decline in irrigation water is forcing farmers to use brackish water which
increases soil salinity and exposes the crop plants to salinity. Maize, one of the most …

Most agronomic traits are governed by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and exhibit continuous
distribution in a segregating population. The hereditary characteristics of these traits are …

Salt stress is an ever‐present threat to rice production worldwide. Rice salinity tolerance is
complex, both genetically and physiologically. The success and effectiveness in selecting …

Abstract Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) production decreases under salt stress.
Identification of genes associated with salt tolerance in alfalfa is essential for the …

High salinity is one of the most abiotic stresses that can adversely affect plant growth,
development and productivity in rice for rice grown in the Northeastern part of Thailand. To …

We examined salt tolerance responsive genes in Pak-choi under salt stress and analyze
their potential function. The mRNA differential display was used to screen the transcript …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL s) for salt tolerance with additive, epistatic and QTL× treatment
interaction effects at seedling stage in wheat were identified. A set of 131 recombinant …

Willow (Salix) is one of the most important ornamental tree species in landscape plants. One
species, Salix matsudana, is widely used as a shade tree and border tree because of its soft …
