"height of stalks" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use this phrase to refer to the length of a stalk or stem, such as a wheat stalk, a corn stalk, or a flower stem. For example, "The height of the stalks in the cornfield were nearly two feet tall."
For the size analysis, the length of trichome branches and the height of stalk was measured.
Stalk numbers, heights of stalks and number of gaps in cane rows were recorded to assess treatment effects, and final yield was measured.
From a distance and for the layman, the only visible difference comes from the height of the stalks -- field corn grows as tall as eight feet and sweet corn is often about half that height.
The average height of trichome stalks in xi-1/xi-k, and xi-2/xi-k were 126% (p < 0.001) and 143% (p < 0.001) of wild type, respectively.
In xi-1/xi-k and xi-2/xi-k, the trichome stalks were abnormally elongated, and the height of trichome stalk constituted 70% (p < 0.001) and 90% (p < 0.001) of branch length, respectively (length ratios between 1.3 and 1.5; Figure 3B; Additional file 8).
The average length of xi-k trichome branches was 83% of wild type but the height of the stalk was similar to wild type.
To incorporate the effects of growth at the tip of the domain, the computational domain is elongated such that the height of the stalk is time-dependent, i.e. h(t) = h0+ v g× t.
In the case of triple mutant, the length of trichome branches was decreased dramatically and the average height of trichome stalk was equal or slightly longer than the branch length (ratio value below 1, p < 0.001; Figure 3B; Additional file 8).
While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate, due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.
The stalk height of xi-1/xi-2/xi-k trichomes was similar to wild type.
