Table 1. Thioacidolysis of polyploid Arabidopsis.

All values given are in µmol per mg of AcBr-lignin. Data are means ± sd. Different lowercase letters following values indicate statistically significant difference; H, G, and S; p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl, and syringyl lignin units; n = 8 pools of two or more biological replicates; statistical analysis was done with univariate analysis and Scheffe posthoc testing in SPSS; α = 0.05.
