Plant strategies for greatest height: tapering or hollowing

Scientific Reports, 2023
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.

Plant height and hydraulic vulnerability to drought and cold [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Understanding how plants survive drought and cold is increasingly important as plants worldwide experience dieback with drought in moist places and grow taller with warming in cold ones.

The Physiological Basis of Alfalfa Plant Height Establishment

Plants
Plant height plays an important role in crop yield, product quality, and cultivation management. However, the physiological mechanisms that regulate the establishment of plant height in alfalfa plants remain unclear.

Prediction of Rice Plant Height Using Linear Regression Model by Pyramiding Plant Height-Related Alleles. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
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]

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
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.

Global patterns in plant height [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2009
Summary 1.  Plant height is a central part of plant ecological strategy. It is strongly correlated with life span, seed mass and time to maturity, and is a major determinant of a species’ ability to compete for light.

The contribution of photosynthesis traits and plant height components to plant height in wheat at the individual quantitative trait locus level [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
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 ...

Yield-height correlation and QTL localization for plant height in two lowland switchgrass populations [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2018
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.

Biotic and Abiotic Factors Influencing Maize Plant Height. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
This paper examines various aspects of maize plant height. Firstly, it emphasizes that maize is a significant food and forage crop with considerable research significance, and that its plant height is influenced by multiple factors, including biotic elements such as genes and plant hormones, as well as abiotic factors such as soil, water, and climate ...

Machine learning-based prediction of a BOS reactor performance from operating parameters [PDF]

, 2020
A machine learning-based analysis was applied to process data obtained from a Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) pilot plant. The first purpose was to identify correlations between operating parameters and reactor performance, defined as rate of ...
