Fiber analysis of field grown mutant (bmr19) and wild type (Bmr19) sorghum lines in the BTx623 background.
| Genotype * | Neutral Detergent Fiber (Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin) | Acid Detergent Fiber (Cellulose and Lignin) | Acid Detergent Lignin (Lignin) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean † | Std Dev | Mean | Std Dev | Mean | Std Dev | |
| Bmr19 | 55.8 b | 1.7 | 29.1 b | 1.0 | 4.6 a | 0.2 |
| bmr19-ref | 56.1 b | 2.2 | 28.2 b | 1.2 | 3.9 c | 0.2 |
| bmr19-2 | 61.9 a | 1.8 | 31.8 a | 1.5 | 4.3 b | 0.2 |
* Bmr19 = wildtype allele in homozygosity in BTx623; bmr19-ref = mutant allele in homozygosity in (BTx623ms3 × bmr19)BC2F4; bmr19-2 = mutant allele in homozygosity in line 2354. † Means with the same letter are not significantly different. Values expressed as g/kg dry weight.
