Lignin monomeric composition in senesced mature stems from wild-type and pAtIRX5:AdoMetase (AdoMetase) lines.

	%H	%G	%S	S/G
Wild type	3.2 ± 0.4	67.1 ± 1.2	29.7 ± 1.1	0.44
AdoMetase-1	8.2 ± 0.3*	70.7 ± 1.2	21.1 ± 1.1*	0.30*
AdoMetase-2	9.1 ± 1.1*	70.9 ± 1.1	20.0 ± 1.4*	0.28*

Values are means ± SE from four biological replicates (n = 4). Asterisks indicate significant differences from the wild-type using the unpaired Student’s t-test (*P < 0.005).
