Seed germination is a complex trait determined by both quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and environmental factors and also their interactions. In this study, we mapped one major QTLqSE3 for seed germination and seedling establishment under salinity stress in rice. To understand the molecular basis of this QTL, we isolated qSE3 by map-based cloning and found that it encodes a K<sup>+</sup> transporter gene, OsHAK21. The expression of qSE3 was significantly upregulated by salinity stress in germinat ...[more]
