Multi-scale defense architecture in sorghum: Canopy geometry, midrib fortresses, and information-aligned immune portfolios for ecological resilience

Abstract excerpt

Plant defense is a multi-scale architecture, beginning not just with genes but with how leaves are hung in space. We revisit sorghum- Colletotrichum experiments, analyzing them through this framework. Using basal leaf angles at the 8-leaf stage (28 genotypes), we construct a canopy manifold and define a structural defense index, λ arch . A non-linear model, in which the squared leaf angle gradient serves as a “ca...
