Research Progress on Mechanical Strength of Rice Stalks
PlantsAs one of the most important food crops in the world, rice yield is directly related to national food security. Lodging is one of the most important factors restricting rice production, and the cultivation of rice varieties with lodging resistance is of great significance in rice breeding.

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

Maize Stalk Lodging: Flexural Stiffness Predicts Strength
Crop Science, 2016 Late‐season stalk lodging in maize (Zea mays L.) is a major agronomic problem that has far‐reaching economic ramifications. More rapid advances in lodging resistance could be achieved through development of selective breeding tools that are not confounded by environmental factors.

Effects of plant density and nitrogen rate on lodging-related stalk traits of summer maize
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2016 Stalk lodging is a major constraint to limit grain yield under increased planting density in modern maize (Zea mays L.) production. A 3-year field experiment was imposed to study the effects of plant density and nitrogen (N) rate on stalk lodging and ...

Universal and unique features of kinesin motors: Insights from a comparison of fungal and animal conventional kinesins [PDF]
, 1999 Kinesins are microtubule motors that use the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP to move unidirectionally along microtubules, The founding member of this still growing superfamily is conventional kinesin, a dimeric motor that moves processively ...

An Improved Method for Accurate Phenotyping of Corn Stalk Strength
Crop Science, 2014 ABSTRACTWeak stems or stalks in grass crop species increase the likelihood of stalk failure, thereby reducing yield. Three‐point bending tests are often employed in selective breeding studies to characterize stalk strength. However, it is hypothesized that the loading setup used during three‐point bending experiments may significantly alter test ...

Tensile Properties of Maize Stalk Rind
BioResources, 2016 Experiments were carried out to measure the tensile properties of maize stalk rind. Two varieties of maize stalk (SD 12 and SD 9) and two moisture contents (fresh and air-dried) were tested.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...
