Table 1 Lignin content of extract-free mature culms from Brachypodium wild type and laccase mutants

From: Inactivation of LACCASE8 and LACCASE5 genes in Brachypodium distachyon leads to severe decrease in lignin content and high increase in saccharification yield without impacting plant integrity

  1. The Klason lignin (KL) and the acetyl bromide lignin (ABL) contents are expressed as weight percentage of extract-free samples. Data are mean values and standard errors from biological triplicates. Values between brackets are the percentages relative to the control level. Asterisks denote significant differences (one-way ANOVA test) relative to the control value at P < 0.05
