title: Phenylpropanoid interconversion in Anigozanthos preissii observed by high-performance liquid chromatography-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
abstract: HPLC-NMR spectroscopy was employed to observe isotopically labelled intermediates of the phenylpropanoid metabolism in Anigozanthos preissii. Hydroxylation of dihydrocinnamic acid to dihydro-p-coumaric acid and the reversible interconversion between phenylpropanoids and phenylpropenoids were detected, suggesting the operation of a metabolic network in early phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in this plant.
