Table 3. Determination of thioacidolysis monomers released from extractive-free mature stems.
Line | Thioacidolysis monomers (μmol.g-1 lignin) |
% hydroxy-phenyl | % guaiacyl | % syringyl |
---|---|---|---|---|
mur1-1 | 1004 (942; 1071)* | 1.1 (1.1; 1.3) | 70.9 (70.4; 72.5) | 27.9 (26.4;28.5) |
Wild type | 1203 (1105; 1322) | 1.1 (1.0; 1.2) | 70.6 (10.5; 70.9) | 28.3 (27.8; 28.4) |
Values are medians of three pools of eight plants separately analysed, with the minimum and maximum given in parentheses. Thioacidolysis yields are expressed in μmol.g-1 of lignin (measured as Klason lignin).
* indicates a significant difference (Kruskal Wallis test) compared to the wild type value at P<0.05.
