High throughput screening and evaluation of salt-tolerant mutants from an EMS collection of Cucurbita pepo

Salinity is a major environmental stress limiting crop growth and yield in many arid and semi-arid regions of the world. In this study, we used a germination-based selection method to screen an EMS collection of Cucurbita pepo, consisting of 3,751 M2 lines, for salt tolerance. The screening resulted...
