Cinetore analysis. Examples of image at times 0 and 7 h for maize shoot fractions: from top to bottom: Mf + , Mf-, Mm + , Mm- and Mc. Field of view: 10.0 × 13.3 mm2. Brightness and contrast were set at 60 and -40 for the fine fractions and to 40 and -40, respectively, for the three other fractions. Granulometric curves of the original sample and after 7 h saccharification. T0: time T0 normalized to 1, T7h: time 7 h normalized relative to the number of particles at time T0
