Stalk Bending Strength is Strongly Associated with Maize Stalk Lodging Incidence Across Multiple Environments [PDF]
Field Crops Research, 2019 AbstractStalk lodging in maize results in substantial yield losses worldwide. These losses could be prevented through genetic improvement. However, breeding efforts and genetics studies are hindered by lack of a robust and economical phenotyping method for assessing stalk lodging resistance.

Stalk Lodging: A Portable Device for Phenotyping Stalk Bending Strength of Maize and Sorghum [PDF]
, 2019 ABSTRACTBackgroundStalk lodging (breakage of plant stems prior to harvest) is a major problem for both farmers and plant breeders. A limiting factor in addressing this problem is the lack of a reliable method for phenotyping stalk strength. Previous methods of phenotyping stalk strength induce failure patterns different from those observed in natural ...

A data-driven sensitivity analysis of maize stalk models reveals the dominant factors influencing stalk strength [PDF]
in silico PlantsAbstract Morphological factors significantly impact maize stalk strength, but no study has fully characterized the impact of maize stalk shape on stalk strength. This study uses a data-driven and machine-learning modeling approach to characterize these relationships through a comprehensive sensitivity analysis of model inputs.

Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis of Stalk Strength in Four Maize Populations [PDF]
Crop Science, 2003 Stalk lodging in maize (Zea mays L.) causes yield losses estimated to range from 5 to 20% annually worldwide. Selection for rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) has proven useful in enhancing germplasm for stalk strength, and therefore improving stalk lodging resistance.

Maize Stalk Lodging: Morphological Determinants of Stalk Strength
Crop Science, 2017 An incomplete understanding of stalk strength and stalk lodging impedes efforts to improve maize (Zea mays L.) production. To develop a more complete understanding of stalk strength, the current study examined the effect of stalk morphology on stalk bending strength.
