Table I. Monosaccharide composition (mol %) of cell walls from transgenic and wild-type plants after xylanase treatment.
Asterisks indicate data sets significantly different between transgenic plants and wild-type plants, according to Student’s t test (P < 0.05; n = 3 plants from independent transformant progeny).
