Maize basal internode development significantly affects stalk lodging resistance

, 2022
Stalk lodging in maize causes yield and quality losses worldwide. This could potentially be prevented through breeding and improved crop management. Breeding efforts and management optimization are however, hampered by the lack of an internode growth ...

The Overlooked Biomechanical Role of the Clasping Leaf Sheath in Wheat Stalk Lodging

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 ...

A simple method for lodging resistance evaluation of maize in the field

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The increase of planting density is a dominant approach for the higher yield of maize. However, the stalks of some varieties are prone to lodging under high density conditions.

Integration of transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveals key lodging-resistance-related genes and metabolic pathways in maize

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Stalk lodging, or breakage of the stalk at or below the ear, is one of the vital factors causing substantial yield losses in maize (Zea mays. L). Lodging affects maize plants’ physiological and molecular processes, eventually impacting plant growth and ...

Lignin metabolism regulates lodging resistance of maize hybrids under varying planting density

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Hybrids and planting density are the main factors affecting maize lodging resistance. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism of the regulation of maize lodging resistance by comparing two hybrids at various planting densities from the perspective of ...

Field‐based mechanical phenotyping of cereal crops to assess lodging resistance

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2020
Plant mechanical failure, also known as lodging, is the cause of significant and unpredictable yield losses in cereal crops. Lodging occurs in two distinct failure modes—stalk lodging and root lodging.

Cross-sectional geometry predicts failure location in maize stalks

Plant Methods, 2022
Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Stalk lodging occurs when high winds induce bending moments in the stalk which exceed the bending strength of the plant.

Genome-wide association study identifies novel candidate loci or genes affecting stalk strength in maize

Crop Journal, 2023
Stalk strength increases resistance to stalk lodging, which causes maize (Zea mays L.) production losses worldwide. The genetic mechanisms regulating stalk strength remain unclear.

Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize

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.

Characterization and Fine Mapping of qRPR1-3 and qRPR3-1, Two Major QTLs for Rind Penetrometer Resistance in Maize

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Stalk strength is one of the most important traits in maize, which affects stalk lodging resistance and, consequently, maize harvestable yield. Rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) as an effective and reliable measurement for evaluating maize stalk ...
