Lignin monomer composition in Salicornia cells by nitrobenzene oxidation

Nitrobenzene oxidation (NBO) analysis revealed that samples receiving no NaCl treatment differed substantially in their lignin monomer composition . Plant stems were rich in syringyl (S) units, whereas the total proportion of both guaiacyl (G) and p-hydroxy-phenyl (H) units was lower than that of S units. The increased concentrations of NaCl caused a drop in the proportion of S units. At the treatment of 1000 mM NaCl, lignin in stems might be more condensed in both G and H than in S units, which became the prevailing monomers in the macromolecule. Interestingly, the highest proportion of H units was found in the plant stems receiving 1000 mM NaCl.GENERAL INFORMATIONTitle of Dataset: NBO raw data Inowroclaw.xlsxAuthor/Principal Investigator InformationName: Stefany Cardenas PerezORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3919-3498Institution: Department of Geobotany and Landscape Planning, Faculty of Biological and Veterinary Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University in TorunAddress: Lwowska 1, 87-100 Torun, Poland Email: [e-mail]-investigator InformationName: Agnieszka PiernikORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0800-5266Institution: Department of Geobotany and Landscape Planning, Faculty of Biological and Veterinary Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University in TorunAddress: Lwowska 1, 87-100 Torun, Poland Email: [e-mail] of data collection: 02.2023 Geographic location of data collection: Poland and SlovakiaInformation about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: National Science Center 2021/43/D/NZ8/01137SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATIONLicenses/restrictions placed on the data: CC0DATA & FILE OVERVIEW1. Nitrobenzene oxidation data from Salicornia InowroclawMETHODOLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe nitrobenzene oxidation (NBO) product analysis was performed on the extracted stem biomass. Water- and ethanol-soluble extracts were determined using a standard analytical protocol developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA (Sluiter et al., 2008). Alkaline NBO was carried out in stainless-steel vessels using a modified method of Kaˇcíkova ´ et al. (2020). DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Nitrobenzene oxidation data from Salicornia InowroclawNumber of variables: 15 variables and 6 salinity treatmentsNumber of cases: 4 repetitions for each case
