Comprehensive evaluation of maize germplasm for alkali tolerance during germination
This integrated evaluation system effectively distinguishes maize germplasm by alkali tolerance level and identifies key morphological determinants. The findings provide a scientific basis for germplasm screening and breeding of alkali-tolerant maize materials, contributing to sustainable agricultural production in saline-alkaline environments.
