Multiple brace root phenotypes promote anchorage and limit root lodging in maize [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2021
Abstract Plant mechanical failure (lodging) causes global yield losses of 7%−66% in cereal crops. We have previously shown that the above‐ground nodal roots (brace roots) in maize are critical for anchorage. However, it is unknown how brace root phenotypes vary across genotypes and the functional consequence of this variation.

Identification of quantitative trait loci for related traits of stalk lodging resistance using genome-wide association studies in maize (Zea mays L.)

BMC Genomic Data, 2022
Background Stalk lodging is one of the main factors affecting maize (Zea mays L.) yield and limiting mechanized harvesting. Developing maize varieties with high stalk lodging resistance requires exploring the genetic basis of lodging resistance ...

Genetic Analysis of Lodging in Diverse Maize Hybrids [PDF]

, 2017
ABSTRACTDamage caused by lodging is a significant problem in corn production that results in estimated annual yield losses of 5-20%. Over the past 100 years, substantial maize breeding efforts have increased lodging resistance by artificial selection.

Effect of altered leaf angle on maize stalk lodging resistance [PDF]

Crop Science, 2020
AbstractIncreasing light intensity in the mid and low canopy can improve maize (Zea mays L.) stalk lodging resistance. Field experiments involving altered leaf angle were designed to explore how leaf angle affects the light distribution within the canopy, stalk carbohydrate accumulation, stalk strength formation, and grain yield. When the leaf area was

Genetic structure and molecular mechanism underlying the stalk lodging traits in maize (Zea mays L.)

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Stalk lodging seriously affects yield and quality of crops, and it can be caused by several factors, such as environments, developmental stages, and internal chemical components of plant stalks.

Mid-season lodging modulates photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, and dry matter accumulation and distribution simulated by the optimized model in maize

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionMid-season lodging in maize (Zea mays L.) often restricts grain yield potential and is a great hurdle in improving production efficiency. The aim of this research was to study the effects of lodging on photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, dry ...

Integration of transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveals key lodging-resistance-related genes and metabolic pathways in maize

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Stalk lodging, or breakage of the stalk at or below the ear, is one of the vital factors causing substantial yield losses in maize (Zea mays. L). Lodging affects maize plants’ physiological and molecular processes, eventually impacting plant growth and ...

Maize Stalk Lodging: Flexural Stiffness Predicts Strength

Crop Science, 2016
Late‐season stalk lodging in maize (Zea mays L.) is a major agronomic problem that has far‐reaching economic ramifications. More rapid advances in lodging resistance could be achieved through development of selective breeding tools that are not confounded by environmental factors.

Maize Stalk Lodging: Morphological Determinants of Stalk Strength

Crop Science, 2017
An incomplete understanding of stalk strength and stalk lodging impedes efforts to improve maize (Zea mays L.) production. To develop a more complete understanding of stalk strength, the current study examined the effect of stalk morphology on stalk bending strength.
