Measurement of the cell-wall composition in NP and 9311. (A) The content of major neutral sugars and crystalline cellulose in wall residues from internodes. (B) The ratio of xylose and arabinose content. (C) The content of minor neutral sugars in wall residues from internodes. Error bars represent the means ± SD (n = 4 replicates using AIR from 10 mature plants. **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05 by two-tailed t-test.
