Figure 1. Effects of major wall polymer levels on biomass digestibility in total 40 representative corn accessions.

(A) Variations of three major wall polymers (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin); (B) Diversity of hexoses yields from enzymatic hydrolysis after 1% NaOH pretreatment; (C) Correlations between wall polymers and hexoses yields after 1% NaOH pretreatment. * and ** Indicated as significant correlations at p<0.05 and 0.01 (n = 40), respectively.
