Responses of Maize Internode to Water Deficit Are Different at the Biochemical and Histological Levels

Maize feeding value is strongly linked to plant digestibility. Cell wall composition and structure can partly explain cell wall digestibility variations, and we recently showed that tissue lignification and lignin spatial distribution also contribute to cell wall digestibility variations. Although t...
