The Overlooked Biomechanical Role of the Clasping Leaf Sheath in Wheat Stalk Lodging [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The biomechanical role of the clasping leaf sheath in stalk lodging events has been historically understudied. Results from this study indicate that in some instances the leaf sheath plays an even larger role in reinforcing wheat against stalk lodging ...
