Plant strategies for greatest height: tapering or hollowing
The tapered form and hollow cross-section of the stem and trunk of wild plants are rational mechanical approaches because they facilitate the plant simultaneously growing taller for photosynthesis and supporting its own weight.

Prediction of Rice Plant Height Using Linear Regression Model by Pyramiding Plant Height-Related Alleles. [PDF]
Although numerous rice plant height-related genes have been cloned and functionally characterized in recent years, a gap between the identified genes and their utilization in breeding still exists. Here, we developed a linear regression model by pyramiding plant height-related alleles to predict rice plant height and confirmed that it can be used in ...

Environmental and Genetic Regulation of Plant Height in Soybean [PDF]
Abstract Shoot architecture is fundamentally crucial to crop growth and productivity. As a key component of shoot architecture, plant height is known to be controlled by both genetic and environmental factors, though specific details remain scarce.

Yield-height correlation and QTL localization for plant height in two lowland switchgrass populations [PDF]
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), as a model herbaceous crop species for bioenergy production, is targeted to improve biomass yield and feedstock quality. Plant height is a major component contributing to biomass yield.

The contribution of photosynthesis traits and plant height components to plant height in wheat at the individual quantitative trait locus level [PDF]
AbstractPlant height is an important agronomic trait for morphogenesis and grain yield formation in wheat. In this study, we performed both normal and multivariate conditional quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses for plant height with spike length, internode number, length of the first internode to the sixth internode from the top during harvest ...

Mapping dynamic QTL for plant height in triticale [PDF]
Plant height is a prime example of a dynamic trait that changes constantly throughout adult development. In this study we utilised a large triticale mapping population, comprising 647 doubled haploid lines derived from 4 families, to phenotype for plant height by a precision phenotyping platform at multiple time points.Using multiple-line cross QTL ...
