1.Ferulic acid-methyl-C14 and sinapic acid-methyl-C14 were obtained by feeding suitable plant material with L-methionine-methyl-C14.2.As proven by transformation of ferulic acid-methyl-C14 into sinapic acid-methyl-C14 in seedlings of red cabbage ferulic acid serves as precursor of sinapic acid.3.Two genotypes ofPetunia hybridawere supplied with ferulic acid-methyl-C14 and sinapic acid-methyl-C14. The anthocyanins formed in flowers after administration of the methyl group marked cinnamic acids were examined on radioactivity. It was stated that
