Analysis of Soluble Metabolites in ref5-1 comt1 and ref2-1 comt1 Double Mutants.
(A) and (B) The level of 5-OH-feruloylmalate (A) and sinapoylmalate (B) in the wild type, ref5-1, comt1, ref5-1 comt1, ref2-1, and ref2-1 comt1. Data represent mean ± sd (n = 5). a and b indicate P < 0.01 compared with the wild type and comt1, respectively, from a Student’s t test.
(C) Morphology of 4-week-old ref5-1 comt1 plants compared with the respective single mutants.
