Biomass and lignin monomer composition data from wild-type and Zmccr1 mutant plants. a The Zmccr1 mutant plants appear no different from wild type in growth and biomass yield when grown in the greenhouse. b The levels of p-hydroxyphenyl (H), guaiacyl (G), and syringyl (S) monomers released by thioacidolysis are all significantly lower in the Zmccr1 mutants relative to those in wild-type (WT) plants. Error bars represent standard deviations of biological replicates (n = 5 plants), asterisks represent a significant difference from WT, p < 0.05
