ASL, acid‐soluble lignin; KL, Klason lignin; OE, overexpressing. The data are the mean ± standard error (SE) of three independent biological replications, and different letters in the same column share a significant difference (P < 0.05) (Duncan’s multiple range test). ΔLignin = (Inoculated - Mock)/Mock.
