Weight-average molecular weight (Mw), number-average molecular weight (Mn), and poly-dispersity indices (PDI, Mw/Mn) of acetylated lignin samples from WT and miR408_OX poplars

	WT	miR408_OX #1	miR408_OX #5	miR408_OX #6
Mw (g mol−1)	8697 ± 6.43	7313 ± 5.29	7309 ± 3.06	7186 ± 3.51
Mn (g mol-1)	5033 ± 2.65	3967 ± 7.23	4021 ± 4.04	3941 ± 8.62
PDI	1.73 ± 0.01	1.84 ± 0.01	1.82 ± 0.01	1.82 ± 0.01

Values are means ± SE (n = 3, where n represents 3 transgenic lines, and three replicate samples were analyzed for each transgenic line). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
