Effect of CNL-RNAi Suppression on Internal Pools of Free Hydroxycinnamic Acids and Their Corresponding CoA Esters in Corollas of Petunia Flowers.
Free organic acids (A) and hydroxicinnamoyl-CoA esters (B) were extracted from corollas of control (white bars) and CNL-RNAi lines (gray bars) 2 d postanthesis harvested at 8 pm. Data are means ± se (n ≥ 6 biological replicates). *P < 0.01 and **P < 0.04 by Student’s t test of transgenics relative to control. C, control; FW, fresh weight.
