The effect of wind sway on the mechanical characteristics of the anchorage roots and the
stem was investigated in mature winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Hereward). Wheat …

Abstract Model of the mechanics of uprooting lead to the identification of 'optimal'anchorage
systems which can withstand a given upward force at a minimum construction cost. Such …

The anchorage of winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L., is provided by a cone of rigid coronal
roots which emerge from around the stem base. During root lodging this cone rotates at its …

The effects of root and shoot characteristics on the lodging resistance of four cultivars of
winter wheat were investigated by combining results from a field trial (set up at Manchester …

The root system of mature wheat Triticum aestivum Marts Dove is dominated by the 7 to 15
adventitious roots which emerge from the perimeter of the stem base, pointing radially …

The structural development of the stems and basal anchorage roots of Galahad and
Hereward winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) were investigated and related to their …

The anchorage system of mature maize Zea mays was investigated by combining
morphological and anatomical study of the root system with mechanical tests on roots and …

The effects of nitrogen and plant growth regulators (stem shorteners) on root and shoot
characteristics associated with lodging resistance were investigated in two winter wheat …

Two varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), Blue Boy and Arthur, were cultured in
plastic dishes in complete darkness or in dim light. Mechanical stimulation was administered …

The effects of mechanical support on two contrasting species of herbaceous annual, the
dicot sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and the monocot maize (Zea mays L.), were …
