Purpose Sustainable crop production could contribute to feed and fuel for the ever-
increasing global population. The use of heavy agricultural machinery has improved the …

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 …

One of the most chronic constraints to crop production is the grain yield reduction near the
crop harvest stage by lodging worldwide. This is more prevalent in cereal crops, particularly …

Lodging under nitrogen (N)-luxury conditions substantially reduces crop yield and seed
quality. However, the molecular mechanisms of plant lodging resistance remain largely …

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

Climate change implies higher frequency and magnitude of agroclimatic extremes
threatening plant production and the provision of other ecosystem services. This review is …

Crop lodging has long been recognized as one of the severe yield limiting constraints for
rapeseed (Brassica napus) production worldwide. Lodging directly impairs seed yield and …

Stem bending or lodging caused by insufficient stem strength is an important limiting factor
for plant production. Secondary cell walls play a crucial role in plant stem strength, but …

High plant density is considered a proficient approach to increase maize production in
countries with limited agricultural land; however, this creates a high risk of stem lodging and …

As the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are projected to increase under
climate change, assessing their impact on crop** systems and exploring feasible …
