Figure 4. Metabolic and physiological characterization of P. patens ΔCYP73 mutants.

Figure 4

(A) Representative UHPLC-UV chromatograms of 2-month-old wild-type, ΔPpCYP73A48, ΔPpCYP73A49, and ΔPpCYP73A48/CYP73A49 crude extracts showing the loss of UV-absorbing molecules in the double mutants. (B) Relative levels of threonate and shikimate phenolic esters in 2-month-old gametophores. pC2T, p-coumaroyl-2-O-threonate; pC4T, p-coumaroyl-4-O-threonate; C2T, caffeoyl-2-O-threonate; C4T, caffeoyl-4-O-threonate; pC5S, p-coumaroyl-5-O-shikimate. (C) Quantification of hydroxycinnamic acids from saponified extracts of 2-month-old gametophores. (D) Compositional analysis of the cuticular polymer of 2-month-old gametophores. (E) Total amount of cuticular monomers from gametophores. (F) Representative pictures of 2-month-old wild-type, ΔPpCYP73A48 and ΔPpCYP73A49 gametophores after toluidine blue permeability assay. (G) Quantification of permeability to toluidine blue in 2-month-old gametophores. Results in panels (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) are the mean ± SEM of three independent WT biological replicates and three independent mutant lines. WT versus mutant unpaired t test adjusted P-value: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. nd, not detected. Source data are available online for this figure.
