Jul	13 Jul 2016	12.52 ± 0.61	6.08 ± 0.46
Aug	12 Aug 2016	13.77 ± 0.97	6.27 ± 0.25
Sep	9 Sep 2016	12.39 ± 0.45	5.89 ± 0.32
Mature	12 Aug 2016	12.75 ± 1.26	5.40 ± 0.26

To obtain samples at a uniform developmental stage in each sampling, culms of as similar total length as possible were collected. ‘Mature’ samples were culms that were older than 1 year old. Length data are mean ± SD of three biological replicates
