Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals potential regulatory genes involved in the development and strength formation of maize stalks

Abstract Background Stalk strength is a critical trait in maize that influences plant architecture, lodging resistance and grain yield. The developmental stage of maize, spanning from the vegetative stage to the reproductive stage, is critical for determining stalk strength. However, the dynamics of...
