Despite the identification of numerous QTLs and genes associated with lodging-related traits, the genetic framework for lodging resistance remains largely unclear.

From correlation analysis, eight representative traits, including plant height (PH), breaking resistance (BR), fresh weight (FW), stem length (SL), section modulus (SM), bending stress (BS), lodging index (LI), and the optimized parameter \u25b3BM, were selected for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). This study utilized 2,315,020 high-quality SNPs analyzed through the MLM, FarmCPU, and BLINK models. These models identified 10, 24, and 16 significant QTLs, respectively, with two stable QTLs,\n                    <jats:italic>qBS3<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>q\u25b3BM9<\/jats:italic>\n                    , consistently detected across all models.
