Analysis of Pchlide ester in au and yg-2 mutants
| Genotype | Pchlide Ester Fluorescencea | |
|---|---|---|
| g−1 fresh wt | seedling−1 | |
| Wild type | 49.5 ± 4.0 | 0.36 ± 0.03 |
| au | 26.4 ± 0.8 | 0.19 ± 0.00 |
| yg-2 | 29.7 ± 1.8 | 0.24 ± 0.02 |
Pchlide ester was quantified by fluorescence spectroscopy in 5-d-old dark-grown tomato seedlings. Values are means ± se (n = 3).
Fluorescence is given as relative units.
