Stalk Strength

Structural integrity of stems, supporting plant stability and transport.

Key Functions:

• Supports canopy and buds.
• Facilitates vascular transport.
• Enhanced by lignin biosynthesis.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Stem Structure (defines)
• Sclerenchyma Fiber (strengthens)
• CCR (supports lignin production)
• Growth Regulation (influences)
