Crop Lodging and The Roles of Lignin, Cellulose, and Hemicellulose in Lodging Resistance

With increasingly frequent extreme weather events, lodging has become an important limiting factor for crop yield and quality mechanical harvesting. Lodging resistance is a precondition “super high yield” crops, the question of how to achieve guarantee urgent scientific problem. Here, we summarize anatomical results stems find that closely related stem components. Therefore, focus on roles lignin, cellulose hemicellulose, which provide rigidity strength, in resistance. By combing synthetic regulatory molecular network only some genes involved biosynthesis regulation cellulose, hemicellulose have been shown significantly affect However, many relevant remain be studied sufficient detail determine whether they can applied breeding This work provides valuable information future studies
