Table II.

Lignin content of cell walls isolated from wheat leaves 24 h after injection of polymeric chitosans with different DAs

Sample Lignin Content Control
% (w/w) of cell wall %
Water 10.92  ± 0.79 100
DA-1% 12.84  ± 0.82 118
DA-35% 14.51  ± 0.33 133
DA-60% 12.82  ± 0.28 117

Data are means ± sd of triplicate samples. The lignin contents determined in chitosan-treated leaves were significantly (P < 0.05) different from those of water-treated control plants.
