The Relative Correlation Between the Anti-lodging Property and the Microstructure in Corn
玉米抗倒性与茎秆显微结构的关系

In 1989, we observed third internode of twelve corn hybrids with different anti-lodging property in microscope. The results indicated that the length and width of vascular bundle, the thiokness of thick wall cell of vascular bundle and cortex had significant negative correlation with the rate of lodging in the field. There was a significant positive correlation between the rate of lodging and the numbers of vascular bundle in a same field of microscope.
