Overall averages for control (n = 3 individual plants) measurements are presented with standard deviation. Z scores represent the number of standard deviations that each MYB plant is from the control average, with z scores greater than 2 or −2 highlighted in italicized font. As phenotypic measurements could only be made once per transgenic plant, the number of standard deviations (z scores) for each MYB plant measurement were calculated against the transgenic controls. Plants are listed in ascending order of total lignin content
