Pigment composition of wild type and GMK3 rosette leaves determined by reverse-phase HPLC.
| Wild type (nmol FW−1) | GMK3 (nmol FW−1) | |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | 22.0 ± 1.0 | 19.0 ± 1.0 |
| Neoxanthin | 57.8 ± 2.6 | 44.1 ± 2.7 |
| Violaxanthin | 45.8 ± 0.5 | 42.3 ± 6.3 |
| Lutein | 174.5 ± 5.9 | 126.1 ± 7.7 |
| β-Carotene | 109.4 ± 3.1 | 98.63 ± 1.7 |
The values are normalized per gram fresh weight (FW) and presented are the means ± SE of replicates of three plants each. The values set in bold case indicate significant differences to the wild type (Student’s t-test P < 0.05).
