Plain language summary
Crop lodging is a significant problem in pea and developing resistant cultivars is one of the priorities for pea breeders. Stem strength is one of the important factors that contribute to lodging or standability of the crop. Biochemical composition of stem that determines the strength was measured in resistant and susceptible cultivars as well as to treatments of chemicals and hormones. Some cultivars and certain treatments were distinguishable from others in terms of enhanced stem strength and composition.
