Profiles of the major constituents of lignocellulose. Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin levels were determined in the internodes of the two wheat cultivars Kane and Harvest (a), and in the internode (b) and leaf (c) tissues of cv. Harvest in response to waterlogging (WL). Data are means of 2 to 3 independent biological replicates ± SE. Different letters within each lignocellulosic constituent show statistically significant difference in level at P < 0.05. Plant materials to study differences in the amounts of the major constituents of lignocellulose between the two cultivars were grown in Super Mix (see Methods) while plant materials to study the effect of waterlogging on the level of the major constituents of lignocellulose were grown in soil mixture of clay and sand (2:1, v:v)
