Cellulose conversion as a function of lignin. Relationship of cellulose conversion to the lignin content of sugarcane samples. Black circles denote untreated sugarcane clones; white squares denote chlorite-delignified reference sugarcane cultivar; white triangles denote chlorite-delignified experimental hybrid number 146. Average standard deviations, calculated from triplicates, were 5.9%, 5.3% and 3.3% of the experimental values for the untreated samples, chlorite-delignified reference cultivar samples, and chlorite-delignified hybrid 146 samples, respectively.
