From: Biomass digestibility is predominantly affected by three factors of wall polymer features distinctive in wheat accessions and rice mutants

Figure 3

Scanning electron microscope images of biomass residues obtained from pretreatment with 1 % sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or 1 % sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) , and sequential enzymatic hydrolysis. Wheat and rice samples (TaLq107, TaLq46, Osfc27, and Osfc32) with a relatively higher biomass digestibility showing a relatively coarse surface indicated by the arrow, and wheat sample (TaLq58, TaLq47, TaLq71, TaLq27) displaying a flat face.
