IR spectrophotometry analysis of fibres from transgenic flax line B14 and non-transgenic flax Nike. A. The IR spectra of Nike fibres (c) and B14 fibres (d). B. The IR spectra of the studied samples in the 4000–2500 cm-1 range. C. Differences in the integral intensities of the bands at 1429 cm-1 (a), 1367 cm-1 (b), 1318 cm-1 (c), 1236 cm-1 (d), 1025 cm-1 (e), 991 cm-1 (f), 898 cm-1 (g) and 665 cm-1 (h). D. Differences in the integral intensities of the bands at 1733 cm-1 (a) and 1609 cm-1 (b). E. Differences in the integral intensities of the band at 1335 cm-1 (a), 1263 cm-1 (b) and 1246 cm-1 (c). The mean square error for the values of the integral intensities of the bands after the deconvolution into Lorentzian components, obtained using the Origin software (OriginLab Corporation, USA), ranges from 0.00007 to 0.0007 for cellulose (Figure 3C), from 0.0001 to 0.0008 for pectin (Figure 3B) and from 0.000002 to 0.00009 for lignin (Figure 3E).
