Özet
BackgroundSalt stress is a major abiotic constraint in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), reducing biomass, photosynthesis, and genomic stability. Grafting onto salt-tolerant Cucurbita rootstocks is a promising strategy to enhance plant resilience. Recently, machine learning (ML) has provided new opportunities to capture complex trait interactions and identify key predictors of stress tolerance.ResultsWe evaluated two cucumber cultivars (Cagla F1, Minimix F1) grafted onto four interspecific Cucurbita maxima × Cucurbita moschata rootstocks (TZ148, Devrim, Cremna, Kublai) under 0 vs. 100 mM NaCl for 30 days in a soilless fertigation system. Morphological, physiological, and molecular traits were evaluated, including biomass accumulation, chlorophyll content (SPAD) and incident photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and genomic template stability (GTS) using ISSR markers. Salt stress reduced growth and …
