2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + tricetin 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 3',5'-O-dimethyltricetin (overall reaction)
(1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + tricetin S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 3'-O-methyltricetin
(1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3'-O-methyltricetin S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 3',5'-O-dimethyltricetin

The enzymes from Oryza sativa (ROMT-15 and ROMT-17) catalyses the stepwise methylation of tricetin to its 3'-mono- and 3',5'-dimethyl ethers.
