Genetic Relationship of Stalk Strength and Ear Height in Maize [PDF]

open access: yesCrop Science, 2003
The rind penetrometer is an effective tool for measuring stalk strength in an effort to improve maize (Zea mays L.) germplasm for stalk lodging resistance. However, previous studies have indicated a significant negative correlation between rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) and ear height (EH).

Impact of an electric field on P-type ATPases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
P-type ATPases are membrane proteins acting as ion pumps that drive an active transport of cations across the membrane against a concentration gradient. The required energy for the ion transport is provided by binding and hydrolysis of ATP.

Extensive evolution of cereal ribosome-inactivating proteins translates into unique structural features, activation mechanisms, and physiological roles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic enzymes that can depurinate rRNAs thereby inhibiting protein translation. Although these proteins have also been detected in bacteria, fungi, and even some insects, they are especially ...

Effect of three component evolution of cotton stalk on physical properties of its forming fuel during hydrothermal treatment

open access: yesMeitan xuebao, 2023
The cotton stalk is a typical biomass waste. Its problems such as the loose structure, low calorific value and low energy density can be effectively solved by hydrothermal treatment and hot pressing forming.

Integrated Puncture Score: force–displacement weighted rind penetration tests improve stalk lodging resistance estimations in maize

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2020
Background Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Rind penetration resistance tests have been used by plant scientists and breeders to estimate the stalk lodging resistance of ...

Characterization and Fine Mapping of qRPR1-3 and qRPR3-1, Two Major QTLs for Rind Penetrometer Resistance in Maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Stalk strength is one of the most important traits in maize, which affects stalk lodging resistance and, consequently, maize harvestable yield. Rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) as an effective and reliable measurement for evaluating maize stalk ...

Maize Lodging Resistance with Plastic Film Removal, Increased Planting Density, and Cultivars with Different Maturity Periods

open access: yesPlants, 2022
While plastic film mulching and proper high-density planting are important methods that can improve maize yield, years of accumulated residual film have created soil pollution and degraded soil, and thus has impeded sustainable agriculture development ...

Optimizing Row Spacing Increases Stalk Lodging Resistance by Improving Light Distribution in Dense Maize Populations

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Dense planting effectively increases maize yield while increasing stalk lodging risk. Appropriate row spacing can improve the maize population structure and stalk lodging resistance, but its physiological ecological mechanisms and interaction with ...
