Table 1. Comparison of the endogenous levels of hydroxycinnamoyl acid amides (HCA) caffeoylputrescine (CP), feruloylputrescine (FP), diferuloylputrescine (DFP) and p-coumaroylputrescine in male floral organs (stamens) and female floral organs (pistils) of Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum cv. Astrid (in cv. Aula, cv. Hansa and cv. Indira similar values were measured), Solanum nigrum, Physalis edulis, Nicotiana tabacum cv. SCR, Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Goldene Königin (in cv. Moneymaker and cv. Montserrat similar values were measured) and Capsicum annuum cv. Sweet Banana.
