Stem bending caused by mechanical failure is a major constraint for high-quality herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) cut flowers, but little is known about the underlying factors. In this study, two P. lactiflora cultivars, Xixia Yingxue (bending) and Hong Feng (upright), were used to investigate differences in stem bending. The results showed that the stem mechanical strength of Hong Feng was significantly higher than that of Xixia Yingxue, and the thickening of the secondary cell wall and the number of thickened secondary ce
