Lines	Lignin content (mg/g)	P value	Significance test
OM1	199.53 ± 11.01	0.048089108	*
OM2	227.06 ± 22.03	0.039334573	*
OM3	228.10 ± 21.30	0.035968636	*
OM4	218.75 ± 8.81	0.013258457	*

^*Significant difference between each transgenic lines and WT wheat at P < 0.05 (t-test).

OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 indicate TaCOMT-3D-overexpressing wheat lines; WT indicates untransformed wild-type Yangmai 16.
