From: Multi-omics analysis of the development and fracture resistance for maize internode
An integrated model that depicts the relationship between internode development and stalk fracture resistance. From the BZ to MZ, the synthesis of phenylpropanoid and carbohydrates were significantly increased, the corresponding metabolites such as phenylpropanoid and galactose were increased, and lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose in the cell wall were also increased. A proposed solution to solve the BZ fracture was to increase the synthesis of phenylpropane and carbohydrate in the BZ region, and promote the deposition of the secondary cell wall.
