This study identifies genetic and phenotypic factors contributing to stalk lodging resistance in maize by analyzing intermediate traits and their genetic correlations.

This study improves genomic prediction of stalk lodging resistance in maize by integrating multi-environment data, showing that multi-environment models significantly enhance prediction accuracy for most traits.

The paper identifies 11 intermediate phenotypes related to stalk lodging resistance in maize and develops a high-density phenotypic dataset to enable genetic analysis and improve resistance.

The paper identifies genetic factors influencing maize rind strength through divergent selection and transcriptome analysis, revealing key genes and pathways related to cell wall composition.

The paper introduces DARLING, a device for field-based phenotyping of stalk strength in maize and sorghum, which induces natural lodging failure patterns and provides quantitative measurements of flexural stiffness and bending strength.
