Expression profile of the genes of the biosynthetic pathway of the monolignols analysed by qRT-PCR in Saccharum species. YL = young Leaf, ML = mature Leaf, R3 = rind of the internode 3, R5 = rind of the internode 5, P3 = pith of the internode 3, P5 = pith of the internode 5 and R = root. Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) in relative gene expression among tissues of the same genotype. The means were compared by Tukey’s post-hoc test. The vertical bars indicate the standard deviation of the means of three biological replicates.
