Chemical composition and enzymatic digestibility of sugarcane clones selected for varied lignin content

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The recalcitrance of lignocellulosic materials is a major limitation for their conversion into fermentable sugars. Lignin depletion in new cultivars or transgenic plants has been identified as a way to diminish this recalcitrance. In...
