Contribution of Saccharum spp. hybrid major tissue components to total tissue composition. The consolidation of total tissue weight percentages of other (dark blue), hemicellulose (green), cellulose (light brown), lignin (purple), and extractives (yellow) to equal 100% is given for each tissue. Numbers in table are in the units of mg g−1 total tissue at DW. Extractives were calculated as the loss of mass from AIR after alcohol extraction. KQ228 and Q208 refer to the Saccharum spp. hybrid genotype. Abbreviations, TI: top internode; MI: middle internode; BI: bottom internode; first visible dewlap leaf: L1; fifth visible dewlap leaf: L5; R: root. Superscript letters indicate a significant difference between tissues within the same genotype. Significance was calculated via one-way ANOVA, with the post hoc LSD test to separate statistically dissimilar groups. Statistical analysis was measured separately within each genotype
