Sugar and starch in the lamina (excluding midrib) and petiole of the indicated plant lines after 30 days of growth. The first three mature leaves from each plant were pooled for extraction, and variation (standard deviation) calculated from n = 3 to 5 sibling plants. Sugars levels are expressed as nmoles per milligram fresh weight, and starch is expressed as glucose equivalents.

^c Significant increase relative to wild type; Students T-test, p < 0.05

^d Significant decrease relative to wild type; Students T-test, p < 0.05
