  1. Data are means ± standard error of at least two experimental replicates from two plants per event. Klason lignin is total lignin (acid-soluble and acid-insoluble lignin). Extractives content was not determined. Data were normalised to a summative mass closure of 100%. Different letters indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) following a one-way ANOVA with a post hoc Tukey test
