Multivariate screening of upland cotton genotypes reveals key traits for salt tolerance at the seedling stage
These findings suggest that multivariate and multi-trait screening at the seedling stage is a useful method for identifying cotton germplasm with salt tolerance, providing a foundation for breeding programs and further field evaluation that may contribute to stable yields under saline conditions.
