Identification of a Major QTL and Candidate Gene Analysis of Salt Tolerance at the Bud Burst Stage in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Using QTL-Seq and RNA-Seq

Abstract

These results indicate that OsSAP16 was the candidate gene of qRSL7. The results is useful for gene cloning of qRSL7 and for improving the salt tolerance of rice varieties by marker assisted selection (MAS).
