Under limited water conditions, stem strength is the ultimate trait that governs the stem lodging in sorghum. In my study, I am going to study the morphological and biomechanical traits of sorghum hybrids. These biomechanical traits are closely associated with the anatomical and chemical composition of the sorghum stalk. It is important to note that the exact mechanisms by which this factor affects the stalk strength in the sorghum are not well understood, especially under water-limited conditions.
The focus of my research is to study the morphological, anatomical and chemical composition of sorghum stems. Studying these key features can help us to understand the mechanism by which these factors affect the stalk strength in sorghum.
