Concentrations of cellulose across organs and developmental stages in the wild-type and Bdlsi1-1 mutant. The concentration of intact cellulose microfibrils in the TFA-resistant pellet was quantified in the wild-type (WT) and the Bdlsi1-1 plants sampled at the ripening stage (a) and maturity (senescence) (b). Mean values (± SD) of three replicates are presented, asterisks indicate significant differences between the wild type and the mutant (*p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01) as assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HDS post hoc test
