The effect of plant weight on estimations of stalk lodging resistance [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2020 Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Stalk lodging occurs when bending moments induced by a combination of external loading (e.g. wind) and self-loading (e.g.

Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Stalk fracture caused by strong wind can severely reduce yields in maize. Stalks with higher stiffness and flexibility will exhibit stronger lodging resistance. However, stalk flexibility is rarely studied in maize.
