Etiolated SOR seedlings accumulate more chlorophyll after heat treatment

Etiolated seedlings were grown for 2.5 d in the dark at 22°C, exposed to 48°C for 30 min in the dark, and transferred to continuous light for 24 h. Total chlorophyll extracted from 25 seedlings is reported as a percentage of chlorophyll recovered from non-heat-treated controls. The data are means ± se from two independent experiments.

Sample	Percentage Chlorophyll Content of the Respective Non-Heat-Treated Control Samples
Wild type	7.0 ± 1.9
GFP	31.1 ± 18.5
SOR1	48.5 ± 14.2
SOR3	102.1 ± 1.0
SOR8	108.6 ± 1.4
SOR9	108.5 ± 13.3
