    | Table 2. Comparison of the endogenous levels of the hydroxycinnamoyl acid amides (HCA) caffeoylputrescine (CP) and feruloylputrescine (FP) and the free polyamines (PA) putrescine (Put) and spermidine (Spd) with the endogenous phytohormone activities in equivalents of GA3, zeatin, ABA und IAA as measured by Koda and Okazawa (14).
