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 …

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

Stem strength is an important agronomic trait affecting plant lodging, and plays an essential
role in the quality and yield of plants. Thickened secondary cell walls in stems provide …

Significant achievements have been made in breeding programs for the heavy‐panicle‐type
(HPT) rice (Oryza sativa) in Southwest China. The HPT varieties now exhibit excellent …

Crop height not only determines plant resistance to lodging and crowding, but also affects
crop architecture, apical dominance, biomass, and mechanical harvesting. Plant height is …

Atmospheric CO 2 concentration [CO 2] has increased from 260 to 280 μmol mol− 1 (level
during crop domestication up to the industrial revolution) to currently 400 and will reach 550 …

High yields of wheat are mainly obtained through a high level of nitrogen and irrigation
supplementation. However, excessive nitrogen and irrigation supplication increase the risk …

Rice tends to accumulate heavy metals present in soil that have been introduced by human
activities and pass them up the food chain. The present study aimed to evaluate the …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a globally important staple food, but its production was influenced by
various biotic and abiotic stresses. This study involved screening endophytic bacterial …

Rice is a major food crop in the world. Owing to the shortage of rural labor and the
development of agricultural mechanization, direct seeding has become the main method of …
