Table 3 Thioacidolysis results compared with lignin and S/G estimates using pyrolysis molecular beam mass spectrometry (PyMBMS)

From: Down-regulation of p-coumaroyl quinate/shikimate 3′-hydroxylase (C3′H) and cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) genes in the lignin biosynthetic pathway of Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis leads to improved sugar release
