Lodging can reduce grain yield and quality in cereal crops including rice (Oryza sativa L.). To achieve both high biomass production and lodging resistance, the breeding of new cultivars with strong culms is a promising strategy. However, little is known about the diversity of culm strength in temperate japonica rice and underlying genetic factors. Here, we report a wide variation of culm strength among 135 temperate japonica cultivars, and some landraces having the strongest culms among these c ...[more]
