Responses of the Lodging Resistance of Summer Maize with Different Gene Types to Plant Density
Agronomy, 2021 The appropriate increase of planting densities is the key to the obtainment of high-yield maize (Zea mays L.). However, lodging is a major constraint to limit grain yield under increased planting density in present maize production. Effects of population

Cell walls and the developmental anatomy of the Brachypodium distachyon stem internode. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 While many aspects of plant cell wall polymer structure are known, their spatial and temporal distribution within the stem are not well understood. Here, we studied vascular system and fiber development, which has implication for both biofuel feedstock ...

Bamboo-inspired optimal design for functionally graded hollow cylinders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The optimal distribution of the reinforcing fibers for stiffening hollow cylindrical composites is explored using the linear elasticity theory. The spatial distribution of the vascular bundles in wild bamboo, a nature-designed functionally graded ...

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]
, 2002 Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

Comparative studies on stem anatomical structure of rice plants with various ploidy level
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2009 To investigate the effects of ploidy changes on the stem structure, by using flow cytometry (FCM), we distinguished six different ploidy materials (haploid, diploid, and triploid of line FC311 and haploid, diploid, and tetraploid of line FC322), in rice (

Differences in stylet sheath occurrence and the fibrous ring (sclerenchyma) between xCitroncirus plants relatively resistant or susceptible to adults of the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri, Hemiptera: Liviidae), is the principal vector of the phloem-limited bacteria strongly associated with huanglongbing (HLB), the world's most serious disease of citrus.

BRL1 and BRL3 are novel brassinosteroid receptors that function in vascular differentiation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2004 Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), are perceived by the plasma membrane-localized leucine-rich-repeat-receptor kinase BRI1. Based on sequence similarity, we have identified three members of the BRI1 family, named BRL1, BRL2 and BRL3.

Statistical mapping of maize bundle intensity at the stem scale using spatial normalisation of replicated images. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The cellular structure of plant tissues is a key parameter for determining their properties. While the morphology of cells can easily be described, few studies focus on the spatial distribution of different types of tissues within an organ.
