Ethephon Improved Stalk Strength of Maize (<i>Zea Mays</i> L.) Mainly through Altering Internode Morphological Traits to Modulate Mechanical Properties under Field Conditions
Stalk strength is critical for reducing maize stalk lodging and maintaining grain yield. Ethephon has been widely applied to molding compact plant-type to reduce the lodging risk in maize production. However, there is little information on how ethephon regulates internode mechanical properties to im...
