| Leaf | Stem | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genotype | Nutrient-poor | Nutrient-rich | Nutrient-poor | Nutrient-rich |
| Sin-11 | 15.08 ± 1.49 | 14.60 ± 0.87 | 15.76 ± 1.80 | 16.65 ± 1.47 |
| Gig-311 | 16.24 ± 0.87 | 15.78 ± 4.35 | 17.00 ± 1.40 | 16.78 ± 1.54 |
| Sac-5 | 15.40 ± 0.77 | 16.14 ± 1.17 | 18.13 ± 1.45 | 16.16 ± 0.87 |
Values are mean ± standard deviation of biological and technical replicates (for each value, n = 3; total samples, n = 144).
Leaf and stem samples used for this assay were collected at the end of the experiment from the three miscanthus genotypes grown at 75 % SWC.
