Detection of cellulose structural features. a Lignocellulose CrI of mature stems using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. b Cellulose DP of mature stems using viscometry method. c Root lengths of the germinated seedlings treated with Calcofluor for 48 h (scale bar = 1 cm). *, **Indicate significant differences between the wild-type (WT) and fc17 mutant by t-test at p < 0.05 and 0.01, respectively, with the decreased percentage (%) calculated by subtraction of the values between mutant and WT and divided by WT. The error bar indicates SD values (n = 3)
