Effects of bm5 mutation on cell wall digestibility. a Forage digestibility of cell walls of bm5 mutant and B73 wild-type maize. b Saccharification efficiency of cell walls of bm5 mutant and B73 wild-type maize. Stalk samples were collected from 90-day-old bm5-504J mutant and B73 wild-type plants. Values are mean ± SE (n = 3). One or two asterisks indicate significance corresponding to p < 0.05 or 0.01 (Student’s t test)
