The constant breaking and repairing of the stalk leads to the plant's growing taller and taller, just as repeated stress muscle training leads to aches and then growth. Corn, which is produced in the US at a rate of nearly one million tons per day, is the most important domestic cereal. But the lanky crop is also vulnerable to wind breakage.
Scientists therefore approached the problem using methods like those in the field of structural engineering during materials research. The waves were measured by researchers with piezoelectric contact microphones. In measuring the process researchers found, for example, that the leaves of the plants contribute particularly toward the stability of the plant during periods of rapid stalk growth.
Should plant breeders succeed in developing new corn types with more robust leaves, they might also help the plant survive strong gusts of wind.
