Cellulose and hemicellulose quantification. (A) Cellulose content from leaf and stems of RG and wild type sorghum (n = 4 biological and technical replicates, error bars are standard error from the mean). B) Histochemical analyses of cellulose deposition by Calcofluor White (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis. MO) staining of transverse sections from noted genetic background, scale bar = 1 mm. (C) and (D) Neutral sugars composition for RG and wild type leaf and stem biomass. (n = 4 biological and technical replicates, error bars are standard error from the mean). Significance (P < 0.05) is indicated by a star sign (★).
