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.
