Total soluble protein, Chl, PEPC, and Rubisco content, and PEPC and Rubisco activity in wild type (WT) and αSSU plants of F. bidentis
| Plant | Total Soluble Protein | Total Chl | PEPC Content | PEPC Activity | Rubisco Content | Rubisco Activity | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| g/m2 | %WT | g/m2 | %WT | g/m2 | %WT | % total protein | μmol m−2 s−1 | %WT | g/m2 | %WT | % total protein | μmol m−2 s−1 | %WT | |
| WT | 3.35 (0.13)a | 100.0 | 0.63 (0.02)a | 100.0 | 0.33 | 100.0 | 10.0 | 97.8 (1.6)a | 100.0 | 0.68 | 100.0 | 20.3 | 55.0 (4.4)a | 100.0 |
| αSSU | 2.20 (0.03)b | 65.7 | 0.66 (0.03)a | 105.4 | 0.19 | 59.2 | 8.9 | 73.2 (1.0)b | 74.8 | 0.27 | 39.4 | 12.2 | 18.2 (0.4)b | 33.1 |
All values except the PEPC and Rubisco contents are the average of three or four replicates, with se values in parentheses. Rubisco and PEPC contents were estimated as described in Methods. Means with different letter suffixes are statistically significantly different at α = 0.05.
