| Rhizome bracts and culm sheaths are protective and supportive, while foliage leaf blades are responsible for photosynthesis. |
| Many semidwarf mutants have pleiotropic effects on traits other than culm length. |
| This gene did not affect plant height, indicating that the length of rachis and culm are controlled by independent genetic systems. |
| The primary coils are probably made from culms of deergrass. |
| We also realized that the culms of plants tend to elongate as the growing season progresses. |
| The main culms of the plants were harvested at anthesis, 18 days post-anthesis and at maturity. |
