encodes an isoform of 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL), which is involved in the last step of the general phenylpropanoid pathway. mRNA levels are not induced in response to wounding or to fungal infection by P. parasitica. mRNA is expressed in flowers, to a lesser degree in mature leaves and siliques and marginally in seedling roots and bolting stems of mature plants. The catalytic efficiency was in the following (descending) order: p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid and 5-OH-ferulic acid. At4CL3 was unable to use sinapic acid as substrate.
