Thickness-stiffness trade-off improves lodging resistance in rice.

Abstract excerpt

Lodging of cereal crops significantly reduces grain yield and quality, making lodging resistance a prime target for breeding programs. However, lodging resistance among different rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars in the field remains largely unknown, as is the relationship between the major properties of culms such as their morphological and mechanical properties. Here, we investigated the morphological and...
