Progress and bottlenecks in the early domestication of the perennial oilseed Silphium integrifolium, a sunflower substitute [PDF]
, 2018 Silflower (Silphium integrifolium Michx.) is in the early stages of domestication as a perennial version of oilseed sunflower, its close relative. Grain crops with deep perennial root systems will provide farmers with new alternatives for managing soil ...

Diverse maize hybrids are structurally inefficient at resisting wind induced bending forces that cause stalk lodging [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2020 Abstract Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) results in millions of dollars in lost revenue each year. Despite a growing body of literature on the topic of stalk lodging, the structural efficiency of maize stalks has not been investigated previously.

Physiological mechanism of lodging resistance of oat stalk and analysis of transcriptome differences. [PDF]
Front Plant SciIntroductionLodging has become an important factor limiting oats production.MethodsTo understand the relationship between oat lodging and stem growth, we selected three oat cultivars with different lodging resistance traits and conducted a detailed analysis of their stem physicochemical properties, and transcriptome sequencing on them at different ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Genetic variances and relationship among traits of an early maturing maize population under drought-stress and low nitrogen environments [PDF]
, 2017 Article purchasedDrought and low soil nitrogen (low N) are major causes of low grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). An early maturing maize population, TZE-Y Pop DT STR, had undergone four cycles of selection for drought ...
