TLDR
It was suggested that selection for lodging resistant cultivars should emphasize larger stem diameter and wall thickness of basal internodes and fewer tillers per unit area with heavy spikes.About:

Lignins: Biosynthesis and Biological Functions in Plants
Qingquan Liu,Le Luo,Luqing Zheng +2 more
TL;DR: It is hoped this review will give an in-depth understanding of the important roles of lignin biosynthesis in various plants’ biological processes and provide a theoretical basis for the genetic improvement of lIGNin content and composition in energy plants and crops.

PAPER PRESENTED AT INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INCREASING WHEAT YIELD POTENTIAL, CIMMYT, OBREGON, MEXICO, 20–24 MARCH 2006 Understanding the physiological basis of yield potential in wheat
TL;DR: Significant attention is given to effects of weather on yield potential and recent advances in techniques for elucidating the physiological basis of genotype by year interactions, which appear to have been few attempts to validate physiological (or morphological) selection criteria for wheat yield potential in the last decade.

Lodging resistance of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): Lignin accumulation and its related enzymes activities due to the application of paclobutrazol or gibberellin acid
TL;DR: Results suggested that the exogenous PP333 or GA3 application significantly changed the risk of lodging occurred not only by altering the plant height but also byChanging the physical strength of the basal part of the culm internode, especially, altering the lignin accumulation and its related enzymes activities in basal internode.

Improvement of lodging resistance with QTLs for stem diameter in rice (Oryza sativa L.).
TL;DR: It is suggested that increasing stem diameter in rice breeding programs would improve lodging resistance, although the combination of multiple QTLs would be necessary to produce thicker stems with higher pushing resistance, whereas the higher plant height could also result from the combinations of multipleQTLs.

Lodging resistance characteristics of high-yielding rice populations
Jun Zhang,Ganghua Li,Yunpan Song,Zhenghui Liu,Congdang Yang,She Tang,Chengyan Zheng,Shaohua Wang,Yanfeng Ding +8 more
TL;DR: An improvement in the lodging resistance of high-yield rice populations could be achieved by the suitable plant height with the optimum configuration of internodes, namely, shorter basal stems and a longer peduncle, and by increasing stem stiffness, which was primarily attributed to higher proportions of structural carbohydrates and greater plumpness of the leaf sheaths.

Ethylene in plant growth.
TL;DR: Regulation by ethylene extends to abscission, to flower formation and fading, and to fruit growth and ripening, as well as certain other instances, since auxins induce ethylene formation.

Genotype, sowing date and plant spacing influence on high-yielding irrigated wheat in southern New South Wales. II. Growth, yield and nitrogen use
M. Stapper,R.A. Fischer +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that short-stature, early-maturing, low spike-bearing cultivars are most suited to high-yielding conditions from any sowing date, provided flowering occurs after late September, as such crops have a reduced lodging risk and use assimilates and N most efficiently.
