Conversion performance of four distinct cultivar classes (diverging in cell wall digestibility) for A Glu-Con, B Glu-Rel, and C Glu-Sol across pretreatments of increasing severity. Glu-Con is the percentage of total cell wall glucose released after pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification. Glu-Rel is the amount of glucose (g) released from 1 kg of dry biomass after pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification. Glu-Sol is the absolute amount of glucose (g) released from 1 kg of dry biomass into pretreatment liquors following thermochemical processing. Within each processing severity regime, similar letters above bars indicate non-significant differences according to a Tukey HSD test (P = 0.05)
