Stalk strength - Open Access .click

Experimental Cell Research, 1969
Abstract A method has been developed for measuring length-tension relations in the contractile stalk of Carchesium. Elasticity, extensibility and tensile strength of the sheath and myoneme have been determined. The elastic limit was reached at about 1.5 × 10. The sheath could be stretched as much as 5–6 times its resting length before tearing.

Factors Affecting Stalk Strength and Flexibility in Sugarcane

Agronomy Journal, 1970
AbstractThe primary objective of this study was to determine the effect of distribution of fibrovascular bundles on stalk strength and flexibility in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). Differences in distribution of fibrovascular bundles within the stalk accounted for less than 1% of the variation in strength of single stalks selected at random from 137 ...
