Maize culture has high salinity tolerance

The University of Giessen's Plant Nutrition Center in Germany announced that it has successfully cultivated a new variety of high-yielding maize and has good salt tolerance.

Previous studies have shown that different corn varieties will have different salinity tolerance.

In this experiment, the scientists were interbreeding types of corn have good salt tolerance and finally successfully cultured a new maize variety with good salt tolerance and high yield.

In many regions of the world especially the dry region, salinization phenomenon has reduced the fertility of the land, affecting economic crops.

The results of this study will be conducive to promoting research for other economic crops in saline soils.
