Fig. 1From: RNAi downregulation of three key lignin genes in sugarcane improves glucose release without reduction in sugar productionQuantitative expression of RNAi targeted genes in transgenic sugarcane. Quantitative PCR ΔCt values showing standard error of the mean of a CCoAOMT, b F5H, and c COMT expression in the transformed sugarcane plants after qRT-PCR analysis of leaf tissue prior to greenhouse growth, and young and maturing internode tissues post-harvest. Each sample underwent qRT-PCR in triplicate. Plants are listed in ascending total lignin content for each line. Control n = 3Back to article page
