Table 1.

Cellulose 13C chemical shifts (ppm) of various plant primary cell walls. Weak signals are labeled as (w) and unresolved signals are underlined. Brachypodium, Arabidopsis and Zea Mays primary cell walls are measured in this study. Cladophora, tunicate 7, 8 and Arabidopsis secondary wall 66 cellulose chemical shifts are literature values.
