Individual plants of each IL and HHZ were evaluated score of salt
toxicity of leaves (SST) 10 days after salinization and for days of
seedling survival (DSS) each day from seeding to death according
to the standard evaluation system (SES) [18]. Based on the
progeny testing, 25, 28 and 29 ILs from the HHZ/IR64, HHZ/AT354
and HHZ/C418 populations, respectively, were confirmed to have
significantly improved seedling ST compared to HHZ.
