Fig. 1 Scatterplots of etherified ferulic acid vs. Klason lignin concentration for clone means of four smooth bromegrass populations averaged over four harvests in 1995 and 1996. Doubleheaded arrows represent LSD values for clone means within populations (P < 0.01). Closed symbols represent the most desirable clones within each population for testing the effect of different concentrations of lignin at constant EthFA or different concentrations of EthFA at constant lignin. Numbers refer to pairwise comparisons made in Table 9
