Which one of the following characteristics of about lignin is incorrect?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1.  Most abundant organic substance in plants and a highly branched polymer of phenylpropanoid groups
  2. lignins are involved in plant–animal interactions, helping to attract animals to flowers and fruit by providing visual and olfactory signals
  3. lignin has significant protective functions in plants, Its physical toughness deters feeding by animals, and its chemical durability makes it relatively indigestible to herbivores
  4. Lignin is generally formed from three different phenylpropanoid alcohols: coniferyl, coumaryl, and sinapyl, alcohols which are synthesized from phenylalanine
