Fig. 8From: A novel O-methyltransferase Cp4MP-OMT catalyses the final step in the biosynthesis of the volatile 1,4-dimethoxybenzene in pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) flowersProduction of 1,4-DMB from recombinant Cp4MP-OMT. Representative GC chromatograms showing conversion of 4-MP to 1,4-DMB by Cp4MP-OMT as compared to control (A); box plots showing the amount of 1,4-DMB (in ng) produced in the reactions (B). Asterisks (**) in B indicate significant difference (Cp4MP-OMT, n = 8; control, n = 5; Mann-Whitney U test) at a level of p < 0.005. In A, the peak at 18.545 min in 2 is a compound (contaminant) other than 1,4-DMBBack to article page
