Research Progress of the Effects of Ethephon on Crop Lodging Resistance
Lodging is always one of the key factors affecting crop yield.Ethephon, as a plant growth regulator, has attracted wide attention on its effect on crop lodging resistance.In this research, the research progress of ethephon on the crop stem lodging resistance in both morphologi-cal characteristics and chemical component was reviewed , which provided theoretical foundation for ethephon application in field crops and in-spired new research idea for further research in crop lodging resistance.
