“…Investigators have disagreed on the association of plant height (7,12,34,35,61,76,92), number of coronal roots (13,42,63,76,102), culm wall thickness (12,13,34,55,75,80), number of vascular bundles (12,29,34,35,50,55,76), thickness of sclerenchyma layer (12,29,34,35,50,55,76,118,119), and cell wall thickness of sclerenchyma (12,13,29,75,119) to lodging reaction of oat cultivars. Brady (12) stated that although certain attributes were associated with lodging resistance, none can be used as an absolute index for lodging resistance because of environmental effects.…”
