Contents of acid insoluble lignin (AIL), acid soluble lignin (ASL), total lignin, glucose (as an estimate of cellulose), and hemicellulosic monosaccharides. Values are means ± SE (n = 3, where n represents 3 transgenic lines, and three replicate samples were analyzed for each transgenic line). Values are expressed as weight percent based on vacuum-dried extractive-free wood weight (%, w/w). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
