Sink Strength During Sugarcane Culm Growth: Size Matters
Sugarcane growth and its subsequent yield are linked to plant height. The increase in sugarcane height is controlled by elongation of the top 6 to 7...

A gibberellin-deficient maize mutant exhibits altered plant height, stem strength and drought tolerance
Key messageThe reduction in endogenous gibberellin improved drought resistance, but decreased cellulose and lignin contents, which made the mutant...

New insights into high soil strength and crop plants; implications for grain crop production in the Australian environment
High soil strength is a problem in grain production systems worldwide. It is most severe in deep sands where the high strength occurs at greater...

Multivariate functional neuroimaging analyses reveal that strength-dependent face expectations are represented in higher-level face-identity areas
Perception is an active inference in which prior expectations are combined with sensory input. It is still unclear how the strength of prior...

An integrated QTL map** and transcriptome sequencing provides further molecular insights and candidate genes for stem strength in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
Key messageWe detected the major QTL-
qSR.A07 , which regulated stem strength and was fine-mapped to 490 kb. BnaA07G0302800ZS and BnaA07G0305700ZS as...
