Uronic acid contents in the cell wall fractions. The uronic acid contents in five cell wall fractions (WSF – water-soluble fraction, CSF – CDTA-soluble fraction, NSF – Na2CO3-soluble fraction, K1SF – 1 M KOH-soluble fraction and K4SF – 4 M KOH-soluble fraction) were determined for fibres from transgenic flax line B14 (striped black bar) and non-transgenic control flax Nike (black bar). Analyses were performed as described in the Methods section. Data represents the mean values ± SD from three independent experiments. The significance of the differences between the means was determined using Student’s t test (* - P < 0.05, ** - P < 0.01).
