GWAS-based identification of multi-trait genetic loci conferring salinity tolerance in barley under hydro- and nanoparticle-priming conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salinity is one of the most detrimental abiotic stressors, harming agricultural plants and reducing production. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the fourth most produced cereal crop in the world, which tolerates salt stress conditions. However, the genetic basis of salinity tolerance under hydro and nano priming in barley remains poorly understood. Therefore, understanding the genetics of seed germination under salt stress can aid in improving the development and production of barley. This study aimed to detect the genetic associations underpinning the impact of hydro and zinc oxide nanoparticles (100 ppm) priming compared to unprimed conditions on 170 spring barley cultivars that were exposed to 200 mM sodium chloride during seed germination and seedling growth using GWAS
