Saccharification of cell-wall material from harvested miscanthus leaf and stem samples after the experimental treatments. The cell-wall biomass was subjected to a mild pretreatment (water at 94 °C for 30 min) before enzymatic saccharification. Sugar release was measured by colorimetric detection of reducing sugar equivalents. Data represent averages from four biological replicates for each genotype and treatment, with four technical replicates for each sample. Outliers were excluded by the z-score calculation method (excluded z-score >4). Error bars indicate standard deviation. The saccharification data are tabulated in Supplementary Data Table S4.
