Forty-two putative low-k(+)-tolerant (lkt) mutants were selected from 150 000 tested M-2 seedlings, and two of these mutants maintained their low-K+-tolerant phenotype in their M-3 generations, respectively. Genetic analysis showed that either one of these two mutants has a monogenic recessive mutation in a nuclear gene, and that the two mutations in two independent mutants are allelic to each other.展开更多
