DOI: 10.1105/tpc.19.00486
Abstract: Downregulation of the maize F-box gene stiff1 by a transposon results in thicker stalk cell walls with increased cellulose and lignin, and thus improved stalk strength. Stalk lodging, which is generally determined by stalk strength,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy9040186
Abstract: Stalk strength is critical for reducing maize stalk lodging and maintaining grain yield. Ethephon has been widely applied to molding compact plant-type to reduce the lodging risk in maize production. However, there is little information… read more here.
