Figure 9From: Engineering of plants with improved properties as biofuels feedstocks by vessel-specific complementation of xylan biosynthesis mutantsBreaking-force measurements of inflorescence stems. The tensile breaking strength of the main inflorescence stem of 7-week-old plants was tested. Values show average ± SD (n=5-9) of log-transformed data. * indicates a significant difference from the wild type (t-test, p < 0.05).Back to article page
