Transcriptome analysis reveals the mechanism of internode development affecting maize stalk strength. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2022 AbstractBackgroundThe stalk rind is one of the important factors affecting maize stalk strength that is closely related to stalk lodging. However, the mechanism of rind development in maize is still largely unknown.ResultsIn this study, we analyzed the mechanical, anatomical, and biochemical properties of the third basal internode in one maize non ...

Maize stalk stiffness and strength are primarily determined by morphological factors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractThe maize (Zea mays) stem is a biological structure that must balance both biotic and structural load bearing duties. These competing requirements are particularly relevant in the design of new bioenergy crops. Although increased stem digestibility is typically associated with a lower structural strength and higher propensity for lodging, with ...

Chitinase-like1 Plays a Role in Stalk Tensile Strength in Maize [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2019 Stalk lodging in maize (Zea mays) causes significant yield losses due to breaking of stalk tissue below the ear node before harvest. Here, we identified the maize brittle stalk4 (bk4) mutant in a Mutator F2 population. This mutant was characterized by highly brittle aerial parts that broke easily from mechanical disturbance or in high-wind conditions ...
