Overexpression in Arabidopsis or transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana of AtMYB41 leads to elevated leaf lignin monomer content (presented as monomers released by thioacidolysis treatment of alcohol insoluble cell wall residue).(a, b) Lignin monomer composition and content, respectively, of the leaves from 6-week-old Col-0 (wild-type) and AtMYB41 OE-9 plants.(c, d) Lignin monomer composition and content, respectively, of uninfiltrated (UI) control, infiltration control (pEAQ; ev, empty vector), and AtMYB41-infiltrated N. benthamiana leaves. For N. benthamiana, leaves were harvested 6 days after infiltration. All data are presented in micromoles per gram dry weight with SD (n = 3–4). Monomers are: S, syringyl; G, guaiacyl; H, p-hydroxyphenyl. *Significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) when compared with pEAQ empty vector controls as determined by Student's t-tests or Satterthwaite t-tests.
