Maize, a major crop that contributes to the global agricultural economy, is particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of salt stress, which can hinder its growth and development from germination to the seedling stage. This study aimed to screen highly salt-tolerant maize varieties by using four NaCl concentrations of 0, 60, 120, and 180\u00a0mMol\/L. Various agronomic traits and physiological and biochemical indices associated with salt tolerance were measured, and salt tolerance was evaluated using principal component analysis, membership function method, and GGE biplot analysis. A total of 41 local maize varieties were assessed based on their D values. The results show that stem thickness, germ length, radicle length, leaf area, germination rate, germination index, salt tolerance index, and seed vigor all decreased as salt concentration increased, while electrical conductivity and salt injury index increased with the concentration of saline solution. Under the stress of 120 mMol\/L and 180 mMol\/L NaCl, changes in antioxidant enzymes occurred, reflecting the physiological response mechanisms of maize under salt stress. Principal component analysis identified six major components including germination vigor, peroxidase (POD), plant height, embryo length, SPAD chlorophyll and proline (PRO) factors. After calculating the comprehensive index (D value) of each variety\u2019s performance in different environments using principal component analysis and the membership function method, a GGE biplot analysis was conducted to identify maize varieties with good salt tolerance stability: Qun Ce 888, You Qi 909, Ping An 1523, Xin Nong 008, Xinyu 66, and Hong Xin 990, as well as varieties with poor salt tolerance: Feng Tian 14, Xi Meng 668, Ji Xing 218, Gan Xin 2818, Hu Xin 712, and Heng Yu 369. Furthermore, it was determined that a 120\u00a0mMol\/L NaCl concentration was suitable for screening maize varieties during germination and seedling stages. This study further confirmed the reliability of GGE biplot analysis in germplasm selection, expanded the genetic resources of salt-tolerant maize, and provided theoretical references and germplasm utilization for the introduction of maize in saline-alkali areas. These research findings contribute to a better understanding of maize salt tolerance and promote its cultivation in challenging environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.16838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]],"date-time":"2024-01-29T03:06:50Z","timestamp":1706497610000},"page":"e16838","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Screening
