Overcoming Challenges in Plant Biomechanics: Methodological Innovations and Technological Integration.

ABSTRACT: Plant biomechanics, an emerging interdisciplinary field, plays an irreplaceable role in revealing the structure-function relationships in plant life processes. This field integrates classical mechanical theories with modern biological methods, providing novel perspectives for plant phenotype research and offering significant theoretical guidance for crop breeding, cultivation management, and ecological protection. This review comprehensively examines existing research from three dimensions: research perspectives, methodologies, and content. Using maize lodging as a case study, key scientific questions, research methods, and modeling strategies are analyzed across scales from molecular to population levels. Furthermore, this paper identifies the main challenges in plant biomechanics researc
