Physiology of salt tolerance introgressions from Solanum galapagense in the domesticated tomato
Salinity tolerance is a complex trait that imposes an energy cost on the plant. However, key beneficial traits, including improved plant water potential, higher photosynthetic rate, and a lower sodium/potassium ratio, were successfully transferred from LA1141 to at least one of the ILs. These findings provide valuable insights for tomato breeding programs aimed at enhancing salinity tolerance while balancing growth and stress resistance traits.
