Cut flower quality is severely restrained by stem bending due to low stem strength.
Melatonin has been shown to function in many aspects of plant growth and development, yet …

Silicon (Si) is known to alleviate the adverse impact of different abiotic and biotic stresses by
different mechanisms including morphological, physiological, and genetic changes …

Exogenous applications of silicon (Si) can initiate cellular defence pathways to enhance
plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Plant Si accumulation is regulated by several …

With increasingly frequent extreme weather events, lodging has become an important
limiting factor for crop yield and quality and for mechanical harvesting. Lodging resistance is …
