FIGURE 4.
Contribution of Brachypodium cell wall components to the total cell wall composition. The consolidation of cell wall weight percentages of neutral sugars (light blue), uronosyls (red), phenolics (yellow), lignin (purple), protein (green), and other (tan) to equal 100% is given for each tissue from each developmental stage. Note: protein analysis of seedling sheath/stem, root, and embryonic callus were not performed and therefore “other” includes protein for these tissues. Numbers in table are in the units of mg component g−1 cell wall. Emb, embryonic.
