*The PsbH (AtQTVEDSSR) and D2 (Ac-tIALGK) phosphopeptide signals were detected in the samples from stn7stn8 only in one or two out of three different experiments.
The phosphorylation state of each protein was determined from signal intensities of peptide and phosphopeptide ion pairs corrected using corresponding flyability ratios from the Table 1. Data are the average from three experiments in each condition and three LC-MS runs for every experiment.
