Figure 10: a. Leaf bulk cell wall monosaccharide composition
from control and drought stressed poplar trees one day following
cessation of soil moisture additions. Monosaccharides quantified are
fucose (Fuc), rhamnose (Rha), arabinose (Ara), galactose (Gal), glucose
(Glc), xylose (Xyl), mannose (Man), galacturonic acid (GalA) and
glucuronic acid (GlcA). b. Also shown are leaf bulk cell wallO -acetyl methyl ester content released following saponification
of alcohol insoluble residue (AIR) preparations of control and drought
stressed leaves on day 1, 4, and 7 of the drought. Values are plotted as
average +/- one standard deviation (ns indicates no statistical
significance between control and drought treatments, * indicates
statistically significant differences, P < 0.05). Note,
no statistically significant differences were observed in monosaccharide
composition between control and drought treatments during days 1,4, or
7.
