Loss of F5H does not lead to decreased levels of cell wall-bound HCAs. Shown are quantifications by HPLC of p-coumarate and ferulate released by saponification from whole rosettes (A) and inflorescence stems (B) of wild-type plants and plants with the indicated mutations. Whole rosettes were harvested 3 weeks after planting and inflorescence stems were harvested 10 weeks after planting. Multiple plants were pooled for each biological replicate. Graphs show means ± sd of three biological replicates.
