WT, Wild-type plants. FtsZ, FtsZ1-2-overexpressed transgenic tobacco plants. Leaf transmittance, reflectance, and absorptance were measured from leaves of plants grown under medium-light conditions. Leaf transmittance and reflectance measured at 660 nm in the visible light range (400–700 nm, mean of the 92 measurements between 399.89 and 700.05 nm, each one-half band width = about 2.5 nm) were measured after 30 min of illumination under low light (LL; 40 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) and high light (HL; 750 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹), respectively. Mean values (±se) for four to six leaves are shown.
