Values are expressed as a percentage of total biomass, reported on an ash free basis, growth rates were calculated based on total organic carbon increase over time. All data are shown as mean ± standard deviation for at least triplicate biological samples collected under consistent physiological conditions.
aMissing error values indicate single replications of protein analysis due to limiting biomass.
bGrowth rates of TG1-MYB99 in LL higher calculated on chlorophyll basis (0.064 ± 0.003).
