For each treatment, fruits (120 ± 20 g) were pooled to extract lignin. Values are the means ± s.e.m. of duplicates of two independent analyses from the pooled lignin. ML, monomeric lignin; ND, not detected. One asterisk (

) indicates significant differences by Student t-test (P < 0.01) in comparison with pBI-inron and another treatment.
