FIGURE 5.
Lignin monomer compositions by thioacidolysis of extracts from control and transgenic alfalfa. Shown are H, G, and S lignin monomer levels (μmol/g) from methanol-, 0.1 m NaOH-, and 2.0 m NaOH-extracted residues; 0.1 m NaOH extractives; and 2.0 m NaOH precipitate. Thioacidolysis analysis of extracted residues was performed in triplicate; extractives were performed in duplicate. av, average.
