In vivo characterisation of field pea stem wall thickness using optical coherence tomography

Abstract Background Modern field pea breeding faces a significant challenge in selecting lines with strong stems that resist lodging. Traditional methods of assessing stem strength involve destructive mechanical tests on mature stems after natural senescence, such as measuring stem flexion, stem buc...
