DARLING: a device for assessing resistance to lodging in grain crops
Plant Methods, 2019 Background Stalk 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.

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 ...
