Senescence is a developmental process which in annual crop plants overlaps with the
reproductive phase. Senescence might reduce crop yield when it is induced prematurely …

Lodging is a predominant phenomenon in crop production systems. It can cause significant
economic and yield losses and hamper the process of agricultural mechanization …

Uncertainty in climatic and weather conditions may result in lodging. Lodging is a most
chronic constraint, which is causing tremendous yield reduction in crop plants; therefore …

Context Numerous studies have shown that appropriate nitrogen (N) positively affects wheat
yield increase, while excessive N decreases stem resistance to lodging and reduce yield. In …

Stem mechanical strength is an important agricultural quantitative trait that is closely related
to lodging resistance in rice, which is known to be reduced by fertilizer with higher levels of …

The main objectives of this paper were to explore effective ways of improving the lodging
resistance of high-yield rice populations and the lodging resistance capacity responses of …

Varietal differences among ten rice cultivars showed that stem diameter is a key factor in
lodging resistance (measured in terms of pushing resistance). Two near-isogenic lines …

Deep nitrogen fertilization (DNF) coupled with straw incorporation has the potential to
improve the grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency of mechanically transplanted rice …

Global agriculture is facing the major challenge of providing enough food for a growing
population while increasing resource use efficiency. The harvest index (HI) is an …

Plant lodging resistance is an important integrative agronomic trait of grain yield and quality
in crops. Although extensin proteins are tightly associated with plant cell growth and cell wall …
