Wood composition (± SD) of transgenics and WT from both field trials. For the Belgian field trial, wood composition was determined on the individual trees that were selected for SSF (Table S1) (WT, n = 6; FS3, n = 6; FS40, n = 7). For the French field trial, wood composition was determined on pooled trees (Table S1) (WT, n = 10; FS3, n = 10; FAS13, n = 10). FA, ferulic acid; AG, CCR marker; IS, internal standard; bold, significantly increased compared with WT; underlined, significantly decreased compared with WT.
