The relation between deuterium incorporation and lignification in the root samples obtained from CRM. A Obtaining the lignification from a root cross-section (example: YDT2-2): the area under the lignin band is plotted vs. the area of the CH band, followed by linear regression and reporting the slope as the measure of lignification. B CD% vs. lignification plot for Y, M, and O root zones on days 1, 2, 3, and 4. Root zones include Y as the young (root tip), M as the middle, and O as the old part. The circle, triangle, and black-filled square markers were used to indicate Y, M, and O root zones, respectively. Tn is the harvesting time in days after D2O incubation. The number after the dash in sample names shows the replicate number. It can be seen that with increasing lignification, CD% decreases
