Abstract excerpt
Plants synthesize an array of natural products that play diverse roles in growth, development, and defense. The plant-specific phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway produces as some of its major products flavonoids, monolignols, and hydroxycinnamic- acid conjugates. The reduced epidermal fluorescence 4 (ref4) mutant is partially dwarfed and accumulates reduced quantities of all phenylpropanoid-pathway end products....
