Biomass and composition of TX08001 stems and leaves at 120 DAE.

<p>(A) The dry biomass of stems, leaves, and shoots and their components of TX08001 at 120 DAE in 2009 (experiment 2). (B) The percentage of total stem biomass represented by each component as determined by NIRS. (C) Composition differences between TX08001 stem and leaf tissues at 120 DAE. Values indicate the proportion in stem tissue relative to leaf tissue. (*) indicates statistically significant difference (* = α < 0.05, ** = α < 0.01, and *** = α < 0.001) between stems and leaves at 120 DAE. The analysis consisted of 9 biological replicates. Statistics calculated using a t-test. Ex; extractives.
