Stalk architecture, cell wall composition, and QTL underlying high stalk flexibility for improved lodging resistance in maize

BACKGROUND: Stalk fracture caused by strong wind can severely reduce yields in maize. Stalks with higher stiffness and flexibility will exhibit stronger lodging resistance. However, stalk flexibility is rarely studied in maize. Stalk fracture of the internode above the ear before tasseling will resu...
