Increased lodging resistance in long-culm, low-lignin gh2 rice for improved feed and bioenergy production

Lignin modification has been a breeding target for the improvements of forage digestibility and energy yields in forage and bioenergy crops, but decreased lignin levels are often accompanied by reduced lodging resistance. The rice mutant gold hull and internode2 (gh2) has been identified to be ligni...
