Leaf architecture, lignification, and tensile strength during vegetative phase change in Zea mays

Leaf architecture, lignification, and tensile strength during vegetative phase change in Zea mays

Background and Aims: Leaf morphology, anatomy, degree of lignification, and tensile strength were studied during vegetative phase change in an inbred line of Zea mays (OH43 x W23) to determine factors that influence mechanical properties during development. Methods: Tensometer, light microscopy, his...
