Table II.
Growth and photosynthetic parameters of the T-DNA insertional lines and the wild type grown for 5 weeks in long days at a photon flux density of 100 μmol m−2 s−1
DW, Dry weight; RD, rosette diameter; ETR measured at 800 μmol m−2 s−1. Values are means ± sd of determinations made on eight plants.
